How to Use This Cherokee City, Arkansas Map

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

Cherokee City occupies a quiet stretch of land where the persistent, winding course of Cherokee Creek carves a path through the low-lying terrain. It lies 7.9 miles north-northwest of Siloam Springs, AR (from Siloam Springs, AR: bearing 345°T), and is situated 5.6 miles west-northwest of Gentry. The landscape here is defined by the damp, dark earth of the valley floor and the way the light catches the silver-green leaves of hardwoods as they shudder in the afternoon breeze. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of Pleasant Ridge breaks the horizon, serving as a silent sentinel over the expansive, fertile soil. Only a few miles away, the stillness of Lake Flint Creek offers a mirror to the sky, while the nearby depression of Backer Hollow holds the morning mist long after the sun has climbed above the canopy.

Cherokee City maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life that reflects its roots in the agrarian traditions of the region. The local economy persists through a quiet reliance on the land, where the rhythms of planting and harvest dictate the mood of the seasons far more than the noise of the outside world. Residents often find their recreation in the simple, unadorned trails of City Park, a place that preserves the native character of the woods rather than imposing a manicured design upon them. Despite its modest scale, there is a particular gravity to the way the days unfold in Cherokee City, anchored by the slow, steady movement of the creek and the enduring, earthy scent of pine needles warming under the summer sun.

About This Cherokee City Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cherokee City, Arkansas. Coordinates: 36.298413, -94.57772. 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 Cherokee City includes the ZIP code (72734), telephone area code (479), county seat of Benton County (Bentonville), and school district assignment (Gentry Public Schools).

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.
