Explore Gentry, 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 Gentry, 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 Gentry.
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.

Gentry unfolds across a landscape of gentle, grassy swells and dense, quiet woodlands, where the air often carries the damp, earthy scent of turning soil. It lies 6.3 miles north-northeast of Siloam Springs, AR (from Siloam Springs, AR: bearing 30°T), and is situated 7.1 miles west of Highfill. Little Flint Creek marks the edge of the low-lying terrain, its path carving a narrow, serpentine route through the vegetation that thrives in the moisture of the basin. At the center of daily life, City Park provides a quiet green expanse where the light of late afternoon filters through the canopy, casting long, amber shadows across the grass. To the north, the distant rise of Lower Round Top anchors the horizon, a subtle reminder of the broader, rugged topography that defines this part of the Ozarks. The stillness of the afternoon is occasionally broken by the rustle of wind through the oaks, a rhythmic sound that seems to settle over the pastures and the nearby waters of Lake Flint Creek.
Gentry retains a character forged by the steady persistence of agricultural tradition and the quiet industry of its people, who have long cultivated the surrounding fields. The local economy persists in the rhythm of production and the seasonal shifts of the land, grounding the daily pace in a reliable, measured labor. History remains visible in the modest architecture of the streets, where the influence of early settlement continues to shape the social fabric of the neighborhood. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the terrain dips toward Backer Hollow, a place that holds the memory of deeper, older silences. Life in Gentry moves with the deliberate grace of a place that understands its own roots, honoring a heritage that is as enduring as the slow, persistent flow of the nearby creeks.

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.
