How to Use This Diaz, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Diaz occupies a quiet expanse of flat, alluvial earth where the horizon pulls wide and low, defined by the persistent presence of the White River snaking through the bottomlands just a mile from the center. It lies 23.0 miles east-southeast of Batesville, AR (from Batesville, AR: bearing 113°T), and is situated 2.5 miles north-northeast of Newport. Shadows stretch long across the fields as the afternoon light turns a heavy, honeyed gold, illuminating the dense stands of hardwood that break the monotony of the plain. Four miles to the west, the subtle rise of Howard Mound offers the only significant interruption to the level view, a modest geological thumbprint against the vast Arkansas sky. The air here carries the scent of damp soil and sun-warmed pine, a stillness that feels permanent, as if the land itself is waiting for the next slow turn of the season.

Diaz maintains a rhythm dictated by the demands of the soil and the legacy of the rails that first brought life to this intersection of transit and labor. Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the local economy, with the flat acreage favoring the cultivation of rice and soybeans that dominate the surrounding landscape. Residents spend their days in the quiet shadow of the grain elevators, living near the greenery of Unknown Park, where the local vegetation grows thick and wild without interference. History lingers in the modest architecture and the deliberate, unhurried pace of those who travel the county roads, while Newton Lake, located eight miles away, serves as a silent, distant reservoir for the region’s collective downtime.

About This Diaz Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Diaz, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.648773, -91.258933. 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 Diaz includes the ZIP code (72112, 72043), telephone area code (501, 870), county seat of Jackson County (Newport), and school district assignment (Newport 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.
