Explore Calico Rock, Arkansas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Calico 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 Calico 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.

Calico Rock rises from the rugged terrain where the persistent flow of Fairgrounds Creek carves a path through the limestone bluffs. It lies 20.4 miles southeast of Mountain Home, AR (from Mountain Home, AR: bearing 137°T), and is situated 17.4 miles north of Mountain View. This landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of the earth, where the shadows of Verner Ridge stretch long and dark across the horizon at dusk, grounding the vista in a permanent, stoic stillness. The air here holds the scent of damp hardwood and limestone dust, a heavy, fragrant atmosphere that seems to slow the passage of time. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the dense foliage of the Sylamore Wildlife Management Area creates a verdant perimeter, shielding the quiet intimacy of the region from the broader sprawl of the world.
Calico Rock preserves a distinct architectural character, defined by its historic district where weathered brick storefronts stand as silent observers of an economy once fueled by river transport and regional trade. The memory of early settlement lingers in the stone foundations that remain, reflecting a time when the labor of the land dictated the rhythm of daily existence. Residents move with a deliberate, measured pace, finding a quiet stability in the proximity of Kennedy Hollow and the secluded, glassy surface of Gunner Pool Lake. Life in Calico Rock is a steady negotiation with the topography, a place where the weight of history is measured not in grand monuments, but in the enduring texture of the rock walls and the persistent, unhurried flow of the local waters.

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.
