How to Use This Damascus, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Damascus emerges from the landscape as a quiet assembly of dwellings and fields defined by the persistent presence of the Arkansas interior. It lies 19.3 miles north of Conway, AR (from Conway, AR: bearing 5°T), and is situated 9.3 miles north of Greenbrier. Pine Mountain Creek carves a path through the earth only a mile away, its waters moving with a steady, unhurried purpose that mirrors the temperament of the land itself. To the west, the silhouette of Rabbit Ridge provides a jagged, protective edge against the sky, while the broader horizons toward Soda Valley suggest a vast, ancient stillness. The air here carries the scent of pine needles and damp earth, particularly at dusk when the light turns a bruised, heavy gold, catching the edges of the hardwoods and casting long, slender shadows across the pastures.

History in Damascus remains a quiet matter of persistence, rooted in a regional economy that has long favored the rhythms of agriculture and local industry over the clamor of rapid expansion. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the natural landscape finds a sanctuary at Cove Creek Natural Area, where the native flora thrives in a state of deliberate preservation. Life moves at a pace dictated by the seasons, where the arrival of dogwood blossoms serves as a more reliable calendar than any written page. Residents often find their way toward B B Ranch Lake for a moment of respite, the surface of the water reflecting the sky with a mirror-like clarity that emphasizes the isolation of the region. It is a place where the connection to the soil is tangible, felt in the way the wind moves across the plains and the way the community maintains its own steady, internal gravity.

About This Damascus Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Damascus, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.367092, -92.410712. 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 Damascus includes the ZIP code (71753, 72039), telephone area code (870), county seat of Van Buren County (Clinton), and school district assignment (South Side-Bee Branch 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.
