Explore Flippin, Arkansas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Flippin, 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 Flippin.
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.

Flippin emerges from the limestone-rich earth of the Ozarks where the Fallen Ash Creek carves a persistent, winding path through the dense hardwood timber. It lies 12.4 miles west-southwest of Mountain Home, AR (from Mountain Home, AR: bearing 252°T), and is situated 28.6 miles east of Harrison. The terrain is defined by a series of steep ridges and deep, shadowed pockets like John Treat Hollow, creating a landscape that feels less like a flat expanse and more like a wrinkled quilt of oak and hickory. Five miles to the east, the horizon is anchored by the silent, brooding silhouette of Lee Mountain, while the presence of Bull Shoals Lake introduces a vast, reflective stillness to the surrounding basin. In the late afternoon, the light here catches the dust kicked up from gravel roads, turning the air into a shimmering, amber haze that clings to the valley floors long after the sun has slipped behind the timberline.
Flippin serves as a quiet center of gravity for a region that has long balanced the legacy of its agrarian roots with the precision of modern manufacturing. The local economy finds its footing in the craftsmanship of the boat-building industry, a trade that demands a patient, steady hand and mirrors the methodical pace of the people who reside here. Beyond the workshops, the rhythm of life is dictated by the seasons and the proximity to the Bull Shoals Recreation Area, where the water and the woods draw those who seek a reprieve from the clamor of wider, faster worlds. There is a particular clarity in the voice of the community, a vernacular that carries the weight of history without needing to speak of it, grounding Flippin in a reality that is both modest and enduring.

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.
