How to Use This Cave City, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Cave City claims a quiet prominence where the limestone earth meets the humid, verdant air of the Arkansas foothills. It lies 13.0 miles north-northeast of Batesville, AR (from Batesville, AR: bearing 24°T), and is situated 17.3 miles north-northeast of Southside. Curia Creek carves a path through the landscape, its waters moving with a deliberate, low-slung patience that reflects the shifting hues of the canopy above. To the west, the silhouettes of Nelson Ridge define the horizon, standing as a weathered boundary against the sky, while the nearby Goat Den basin offers a deep, shaded hollow where the humidity lingers long after the morning sun has climbed. Beyond the immediate tree line, the surface of Upper Lake - Green Acres Estates holds a stillness that mimics the surrounding woodland, broken only by the occasional ripple of a dragonfly or the drift of autumn leaves.

Cave City maintains a character built upon the endurance of the land and the modest cycles of agriculture that have long sustained the region. While the rhythms of the Batesville North Complex remain a distant point of interest for those seeking the broader expanse of the outdoors, the immediate life of Cave City is defined by its watermelon harvests and the enduring legacy of the caves that first invited settlement here. The economy carries the weight of these seasonal traditions, grounding the residents in a labor that is as predictable as the changing seasons. Evenings here bring a softening of the light, casting long shadows across the fields and reminding those who live and work in Cave City that the pace of the day is dictated by the slow, steady persistence of the soil.

About This Cave City Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cave City, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.94174, -91.548471. 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 Cave City includes the ZIP code (72521), telephone area code (501), county seat of Sharp County (Ash Flat), and school district assignment (Cave City 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.
