How to Use This Cove, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Cove occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth rises into the rugged, timbered silhouettes of the Cross Mountains that define the western horizon. It lies 65.7 miles south of Fort Smith, AR (from Fort Smith, AR: bearing 181°T), and is situated 14.3 miles southwest of Mena. The air here holds the scent of damp pine and warming soil, particularly near the banks of Dry Creek, which winds its way through the landscape with a persistent, low murmur. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy in shifting patterns of amber and shadow, illuminating the transition between the valley floor and the ascending terrain. Five miles to the east, the sprawling expanse of the Ouachita National Forest offers a vast refuge of hardwood and evergreen, its deep green folds contrasting sharply against the pale, expansive sky.

Cove carries the steady, measured pulse of a place shaped by its long relationship with the land and the timber industry that once anchored its growth. Life in Cove moves with the seasonal clarity of the regional climate, where the heat of summer gives way to the sharp, crisp clarity of autumn mornings. Beyond the immediate vicinity, the landscape hides quiet pockets like Dog Hollow and the shimmering waters of Lake Wilhelmina, both serving as reminders of the water-rich geography that sustains the surrounding backcountry. This is a place defined by its enduring connection to the soil and the quiet industry of those who have made their lives beneath the wide, shifting light of the Arkansas heavens.

About This Cove Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cove, Arkansas. Coordinates: 34.438983, -94.422321. 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 Cove includes the ZIP code (71937), telephone area code (870), county seat of Polk County (Mena), and school district assignment (Cossatot River 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.
