Explore Fox, 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 Fox, 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 Fox.
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.

Fox occupies a quiet span of terrain where the landscape rises in disciplined, timbered slopes toward the looming silhouette of Johnson Ridge. It lies 36.8 miles west of Batesville, AR (from Batesville, AR: bearing 273°T), and is situated 11.4 miles west-southwest of Mountain View. The character of Fox is defined by the persistent, winding path of Tick Creek, which cuts through the limestone bedrock and feeds into the verdant, shadowed expanse of Ives Hollow. Sunlight here does not merely illuminate the earth; it filters through the dense canopy of hardwoods and pines, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch across the forest floor as evening approaches. The air often holds a heavy, damp stillness, carrying the scent of damp loam and the faint, metallic tang of the surrounding hills, while the distant, plummeting water of Bear Pen Falls provides a perpetual, low-frequency hum that anchors the silence of the woods.
History in Fox is written in the slow accretion of land-clearing and the steady labor of those who turned the stubborn soil to sustain a modest agrarian existence. The local economy has long leaned on the rhythms of timber and small-scale livestock, reflecting a culture that values self-reliance and the patient work of the seasons over the frantic pulse of the modern world. Life remains tethered to the land’s capacity, with the occasional traveler venturing toward the recreation offered by Greers Ferry Lake, yet the core of the locality remains insulated from the reach of wider industry. There is a distinct, unhurried gravity to the days in Fox, where the passage of time is measured less by the clock and more by the way the light shifts across the ridge or the seasonal swelling of the creek beds after a heavy rain.

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.
