How to Use This Henderson, Arkansas Map

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

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.

About Henderson, Arkansas

Henderson is a locality in Baxter County, Arkansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 309. The population density is 16.2 people per km². Henderson is located at 36.3806°N, 92.2277°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 72544.

Henderson occupies a limestone-streaked landscape where the waters of Bennetts Bayou wind through dense corridors of hardwood and pine. It lies 9.3 miles east-northeast of Mountain Home, AR (from Mountain Home, AR: bearing 70°T), and is situated 31.8 miles southwest of West Plains. The earth here rises into uneven terrain, reaching toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Flint Knob, while the deep, still waters of Norfork Lake define the eastern horizon. Below the ridges of Walker Hollow, the air holds a persistent, cooling moisture that clings to the moss-covered stones and dark, rich soil of the valley floor. As evening approaches, the light thins into a bruised violet, casting long, angular shadows that stretch across the thicket and silence the midday birds.

Henderson maintains a quiet existence tied to the rhythms of the surrounding woods and the persistent draw of the Norfork Recreation Area. Economic life here flows as steadily as the local waterways, supported by a mix of forestry, small-scale agriculture, and the seasonal influx of those drawn to the quietude of the hills. The legacy of the land is preserved in the simple, sturdy architecture and the deep-rooted habits of the residents who have long navigated the rugged topography. It is a place where the passage of time is marked not by clockwork, but by the slow rotation of the seasons and the shifting levels of the water, sustaining a culture that values the spare, deliberate pace of life in the interior.

About This Henderson Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Henderson, Arkansas. Coordinates: 36.380622, -92.227656. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
