How to Use This Corning, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Corning occupies a quiet expanse of the Arkansas lowlands where the earth flattens into a vast, fertile grid of agricultural industry. It lies 24.6 miles north of Paragould, AR (from Paragould, AR: bearing 349°T), and is situated 20.0 miles southeast of Doniphan. The horizon remains largely unbroken, save for the distant, hazy silhouette of Moark Ridge rising to the west, while the immediate landscape is defined by the steady, dark flow of the Black River just two miles away. Corning Lake mirrors the heavy, humid sky, reflecting the transition of light as the sun slips behind the fields, turning the humid air into a thick, golden veil that clings to the stalks of ripening crops. At Wynn Park, the manicured grass provides a singular point of order against the wilder, encroaching timber, where the shadows of oak and hickory stretch long and thin across the soil as evening cools the damp ground.

Railroad tracks serve as the skeletal spine of Corning, marking its identity as a place built on the movement of timber and the harvest of the surrounding basin. The local economy persists in the rhythm of the seasons, deeply tied to the productivity of the soil and the legacy of the regional logging trade that first drew pioneers to these woods. While the pace of daily life is measured by the slow turn of the planting and harvest cycles, the influence of the nearby Fourche Creek State Forest keeps the wilderness close, a reminder of the dense, untamed thickets that once dominated this territory. History here is kept in the quiet maintenance of the storefronts and the steady, unpretentious labor of the residents who recognize that their existence is sustained by the deliberate, patient work of extracting value from the land.

About This Corning Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Corning, Arkansas. Coordinates: 36.407839, -90.579834. 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 Corning includes the ZIP code (72422), telephone area code (501), county seat of Clay County (Corning), and school district assignment (Corning 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.
