How to Use This Harrisburg, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Harrisburg emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of the Arkansas plains as a quiet sentinel of the rural landscape. It lies 19.2 miles south of Jonesboro, AR (from Jonesboro, AR: bearing 182°T), and is situated 14.0 miles west-southwest of Trumann. The horizon remains largely unbroken, save for the distant, hazy silhouette of Jimmy Ridge that marks the edge of the world, while the immediate ground is defined by the steady, patient work of agriculture. Moisture clings to the air near Distress Creek, which meanders through the lowlands with a lethargic, earthen grace, and the nearby Wayne Carter Lake catches the amber light of the setting sun, reflecting the changing colors of the sky upon its still surface. The atmosphere here carries the scent of damp soil and sun-warmed crops, a sensory reminder of the deep, black earth that anchors the existence of everyone who calls these fields home.

Harrisburg retains a character forged by the cycles of the harvest and the persistent, unpretentious labor of its people. The local economy remains tied to the vitality of the soil, with vast fields of rice and soybeans dictating the rhythm of the seasons and the flow of commerce through the streets. Beyond the daily industry, the nearby Lake Poinsett State Park offers a sanctuary of oak and hickory, providing a quiet respite where the land dips toward the horizon in a reminder of the geological age of the region. Life in Harrisburg moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, informed by the proximity of Caney Bottoms, where the shadows lengthen early in the afternoon and the wind whispers through the tall grasses. It is a place where the passage of time is measured not in hours, but in the slow, inevitable turn of the seasons and the enduring strength of the local spirit.

About This Harrisburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Harrisburg, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.564247, -90.716779. 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 Harrisburg includes the ZIP code (72432), telephone area code (501), county seat of Poinsett County (Harrisburg), and school district assignment (Harrisburg 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.
