How to Use This Black Rock, Arkansas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Black Rock, Arkansas. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Arkansas or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Black Rock.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Black Rock occupies a low-lying stretch of land where the humid, heavy air of the lowlands meets the transition toward the northern uplands. It lies 28.7 miles northwest of Jonesboro, AR (from Jonesboro, AR: bearing 310°T), and is situated 8.4 miles west-northwest of Walnut Ridge. Fall Creek cuts a persistent, winding path through the local terrain, its waters often reflecting the dense canopy of hardwood and pine that defines the horizon. To the west, the distant silhouette of Locust Ridge provides a jagged, blue-tinted boundary against the sky, while the nearby Portia Bay holds a quiet, stagnant stillness that contrasts with the constant, rhythmic movement of the creek. During the heat of mid-summer, the light here turns a bruised, syrupy gold, casting long shadows across the fields and highlighting the fine, dusty silt that coats the roadsides.

History lingers in the proximity of Powhatan Courthouse State Park, serving as a reminder of the region’s early administrative roots and the shifting centers of local influence. The economy of Black Rock has long been tied to the output of the surrounding soil and the steady labor required to work it, maintaining a pace that favors endurance over speed. While the influence of Yeager Hollow sits far enough away to remain a backdrop, the daily life of the residents remains tethered to the patterns of the harvest and the seasonal rise of the waters. There is a particular, unforced dignity in the way the architecture clings to the earth, a collection of modest facades that have absorbed the dampness of a hundred winters and the intensity of as many summers, standing firm against the slow, inevitable reclamation of the forest.
