How to Use This Brookland, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Brookland emerges from the expansive flatlands of northeastern Arkansas as a quiet intersection of open fields and quiet, productive land. It lies 7.9 miles east-northeast of Jonesboro, AR (from Jonesboro, AR: bearing 60°T), and is situated 11.9 miles south-southwest of Paragould. Moisture hangs heavy in the air near Thompson Creek, where the water moves with a sluggish, deliberate intent through the low-lying silt. At the center of daily movement, Brookland Park offers a modest expanse of green space where the light at dusk flattens against the grass, turning the horizon into a sharp, thin line of bruised purple and gold. The soil here remains deep and dark, a heavy earth that dictates the slow, deliberate pace of the surroundings as the seasons cycle between the humid heat of summer and the brittle clarity of winter.

Agriculture has long defined the rhythm of Brookland, anchoring the local economy to the cycles of planting and harvest that ripple across the surrounding plains. The legacy of the region is written in the rows of crops that stretch toward the distance, a testament to a history built on the resilience of the land and the steady labor of those who work it. While the nearby basin of Deasons Lake and the waters of Lake Frierson remain distant, they serve as quiet reminders of the complex drainage and irrigation that sustain the local landscape. Life in Brookland persists with a grounded, unadorned character, reflecting a geography that values utility and endurance over the fleeting trends of more crowded locales.

About This Brookland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Brookland, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.900073, -90.582053. 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 Brookland includes the ZIP code (72417), telephone area code (501), county seat of Craighead County (Jonesboro), and school district assignment (Brookland 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.
