How to Use This Elaine, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Elaine occupies a flat expanse of the Arkansas Delta where the horizon stretches thin and wide under a vast, unencumbered sky. It lies 17.7 miles west-northwest of Clarksdale, MS (from Clarksdale, MS: bearing 295°T), and is situated 21.3 miles southwest of Helena-West Helena. Yellow Bank Bayou traces a sluggish, meandering path nearby, its dark waters reflecting the heavy, humid air that settles over the fields during the long, sweltering afternoons. Five miles to the west, the land dips into the Modoc Crevasse, a reminder of the shifting earth that once shaped this alluvial soil. During the quiet hours of dusk, the light softens into a bruised purple, casting long, thin shadows across the rows of crops that define the perimeter of Elaine. Old Town Lake waits five miles away, a still mirror framed by the dense, tangled growth of the lowland woods, offering a place of respite from the relentless work of the plains.

Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the local economy, with the rhythm of the planting and harvest seasons dictating the cadence of daily life. The history of Elaine is deeply rooted in the stubborn tenacity of those who cleared the timber and worked the black, fertile earth, a past that lingers in the quiet architecture and the deliberate, measured pace of the residents. Ten miles away, the expansive Dale Bumpers White River National Wildlife Refuge serves as a sanctuary for the migratory birds and diverse fauna that thrive in the undisturbed swamplands of the region. This is a place where the modern world feels distant, replaced by the persistent, honest labor of the fields and the subtle, changing colors of the seasons as they move across the flat, open landscape.

About This Elaine Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Elaine, Arkansas. Coordinates: 34.308437, -90.852053. 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 Elaine includes the ZIP code (72333, 72389), telephone area code (501), county seat of Phillips County (Helena-West Helena), and school district assignment (Marvell 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.
