How to Use This Caraway, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Caraway anchors itself firmly upon the flat, alluvial expanse of the Mississippi Delta, where the horizon stretches out in an unbroken line of dark, fertile earth. It lies 22.2 miles east-southeast of Jonesboro, AR (from Jonesboro, AR: bearing 105°T), and is situated 7.4 miles east-southeast of Lake City. Honey Cypress Ditch Number 4 traces a quiet, narrow path through the fields only a mile away, its stagnant surface reflecting the heavy, humid sky. The air here holds a weight that slows the movement of the day, smelling of damp soil and the distant, sun-warmed iron of agricultural machinery. Beyond the edge of the cultivated land, the Saint Francis Sunken Lands offer a sprawling, tangled wilderness of cypress and tupelo that defies the grid of the surrounding farms. To the west, the subtle rise of Grapevine Island breaks the level monotony of the plain, providing a slight elevation that has defined the drainage patterns of this region for generations.

Caraway draws its lifeblood from the relentless cycles of the harvest, with the economy turning entirely on the rhythm of cotton, rice, and soybean cultivation. The history of the place is written in the furrows of the fields, reflecting a legacy of labor that persists in the quiet, methodical work of the modern farmer. While the residents look toward the distant, shimmering surface of The Chute for recreation, the pulse of the locality remains tethered to the seasonal turn of the crop cycle. Life moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, governed by the intensity of the summer heat and the steady, quiet resilience of those who have stayed to work the ground. At dusk, the light turns a bruised purple, casting long, thin shadows across the rows and reminding any observer that Caraway is a place defined by its profound, enduring connection to the land.
