How to Use This Boles, Arkansas Map

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

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.

About Boles, Arkansas

Boles is a locality in Scott County, Arkansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 166. The population density is 27.3 people per km². Boles is located at 34.7795°N, 94.0491°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 72926, 72958.

Boles occupies a quiet expanse of land where the Northern Creek carves a path through the earth, marking the terrain with its steady, persistent flow. It lies 46.3 miles south-southeast of Fort Smith, AR (from Fort Smith, AR: bearing 155°T), and is situated 8.5 miles south-southeast of Waldron. This landscape is defined by the rugged character of the surrounding heights, where the distant, hazy silhouette of Bruton Ridge anchors the horizon against a vast and shifting sky. The air here holds the scent of damp pine and rich, dark soil, particularly as the light fails and the shadows lengthen across the fields. Only a short distance away, the protected expanse of the Ouachita National Forest offers a dense, sprawling canopy of timber that seems to breathe in rhythm with the passing seasons, keeping the pace of the countryside slow and deliberate.

Boles persists as a place of quiet industry, where the legacy of the land’s early settlers remains visible in the modest architecture and the enduring focus on timber and agriculture. Life here is measured by the turn of the harvest and the seasonal maintenance of the woods, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. Residents often look toward the Poteau River Site 18 Lake to mark the reach of the local geography, a body of water that serves as a silent point of reference in a region otherwise defined by the deep, wooded corridors of the nearby Ouachita National Forest. There is a particular clarity to the mornings in Boles, where the stillness of the valley floor creates a sense of profound isolation, allowing the hum of the natural world to take precedence over the mechanical noise of modern transit.

About This Boles Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Boles, Arkansas. Coordinates: 34.779546, -94.049096. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Boles includes the ZIP code (72926, 72958), telephone area code (479), county seat of Scott County (Waldron), and school district assignment (Waldron School District).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
