How to Use This Black Springs, Arkansas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Black Springs, 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 Springs.

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 Springs occupies a quiet corner of the landscape where the land folds into itself, defined by the persistent, rhythmic presence of Lick Creek as it carves through the earth. It lies 37.6 miles west of Hot Springs, AR (from Hot Springs, AR: bearing 266°T), and is situated 31.2 miles east-southeast of Mena. The air here holds a particular weight, smelling of damp soil and ancient pine, especially as the light begins to fail and the shadows from the Fodderstack Range stretch across the valley floor. To the north, the terrain gives way to the dense, protective canopy of the Ouachita National Forest, which presses close to the edge of the locality. Beyond the immediate clearings, the rugged topography of Smoky Hollow creates a sequestered basin, sheltering the scattered dwellings from the wider reach of the world.

History in Black Springs remains tethered to the timber and modest agriculture that have long dictated the pace of life, reflecting a resilience forged in the quiet labor of the Ouachita Mountains. While the regional economy has shifted from the early days of extraction, the influence of the nearby Ouachita National Forest continues to shape the local identity, offering a vast expanse of woodland that defines the boundaries of daily experience. Residents might occasionally venture toward the Gap Mountain Trail for a long trek or spend a slow afternoon near the shores of Lake Ouachita, yet the character of the place remains firmly rooted in the immediate, wooded hillsides. Life here moves with the deliberate, unforced cadence of the seasons, marked by the changing color of the hardwoods and the clear, cold flow of the creek.
