How to Use This Grannis, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Grannis sits upon a quiet expanse of southwestern Arkansas where the light at dusk flattens the pines into silhouettes against a bruised, violet sky. It lies 57.8 miles north-northwest of Texarkana, AR (from Texarkana, AR: bearing 343°T), and is situated 14.0 miles north of De Queen. The terrain is a rhythmic persistence of hardwood and scrub, broken only by the low, insistent pulse of Coon Creek as it winds through the undergrowth just a short distance away. To the west, the distant profile of the Cross Mountains rises like a serrated spine against the horizon, anchoring the wide, humid plains that stretch toward the deeper shadows of Devils Hollow. The air here holds a heavy, earthen stillness, smelling of damp mulch and the resinous sap of loblolly, a landscape that keeps its own time in the slow, deliberate growth of the forest.

Grannis maintains a steady, modest pace defined by the legacy of the timber industry and the quiet labor of those who work the surrounding soil. Life moves in accordance with the seasonal shifts of the canopy, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers, with the Gillham Recreation Area serving as a common ground for those seeking the stillness of the woods near the waters of Gillham Lake. The local rhythm is dictated by the maintenance of rural homesteads and the patient harvest of the land, where the community finds its identity in the spare, unadorned utility of the countryside. It is a place of long, straight roads and porch-light welcomes, where the horizon is wide enough to catch the first gray wash of dawn long before the rest of the world wakes.

About This Grannis Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Grannis, Arkansas. Coordinates: 34.240165, -94.321995. 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 Grannis includes the ZIP code (71944), telephone area code (870), county seat of Polk County (Mena), and school district assignment (Cossatot River 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.
