Explore Goodwin, 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 Goodwin, 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 Goodwin.
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.

Goodwin emerges from the flat, alluvial expanse of the Arkansas landscape like a quiet reflection of the agricultural rhythm that defines the region. It lies 14.0 miles west-southwest of Forrest City, AR (from Forrest City, AR: bearing 250°T), and is situated 18.8 miles northwest of Marianna. Big Creek carves a meditative path past the periphery of Goodwin, its slow-moving waters carrying the silt of the plains toward the horizon. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that magnifies the scent of damp earth and drying soybeans, especially as the late afternoon light turns the sky into a bruised palette of violet and gold. While the land remains largely level, the distant silhouettes of trees provide a jagged frame to the horizon, far removed from the sharp peaks of Little Hill. In the stillness of dusk, the local atmosphere feels suspended, defined by the steady, unadorned endurance of a place that measures time by the planting and the harvest rather than the clock.
Agriculture serves as the primary engine for Goodwin, where the economy remains tethered to the productivity of the surrounding fields and the seasonal demands of the crop cycle. The proximity of Pine Tree Wildlife Demonstration Area offers a stark contrast to the cultivated rows, providing a preserved corridor of native timber that hints at the wilderness once covering the entire valley. Residents often look toward Lake Greenlee for recreation, finding a rare concentration of stillness in its waters that mirrors the quietude of the local streets. History in Goodwin is not written in grand monuments, but in the survival of small-scale commerce and the persistence of families who have worked this soil for generations. Life here moves with a deliberate, singular focus, where the arrival of a storm or the changing of the seasons feels like a major event, marking the passage of years in a landscape that resists rapid change.

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.
