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.

About Damascus, Arkansas
Damascus is a locality in Columbia County, Arkansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 382. The population density is 79.2 people per km². Damascus is located at 35.3671°N, 92.4107°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Damascus is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 71753, 72039.Damascus occupies a quiet expanse of north-central Arkansas where the landscape transitions into the rugged transition zones of the foothills. It lies 12.8 miles east of Magnolia, AR (from Magnolia, AR: bearing 91°T), and is situated 18.4 miles west-southwest of Smackover. Hurricane Creek carves a persistent path through the local topography, its waters often reflecting the dense canopy of hardwoods and pines that hold the soil in place. On clear days, the silhouette of Harvin Ridge haunts the distant horizon like a faded watercolor, providing a scale against which the low-slung, green slopes of the immediate vicinity seem modest and grounded. The quality of light here during the late afternoon is singular, casting long, bruised-purple shadows across the fields that make the dust motes in the air appear suspended in amber.
Damascus maintains the steady, unadorned pace of a region defined by its connection to the land and the simple requirements of rural life. While the economy remains rooted in the rhythms of agriculture and local trade, the proximity of Logoly State Park provides a necessary reminder of the deeper, wilder timberlands that once blanketed this entire province. Life here does not seek the frantic attention of the outside world, favoring instead the small, repetitive duties of maintaining fence lines and tending to the seasonal shifts of the harvest. Those seeking a broader perspective of the regional water cycle might look toward Wilson Lake, though the local identity remains tethered to the slow, persistent movement of the creek beds that have shaped the settlement’s quiet survival for generations.

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 Columbia County (Magnolia), 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.
