How to Use This Houston, Arkansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Houston, 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 Houston.
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 Houston, Arkansas
Houston is a locality in Perry County, Arkansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 143. The population density is 54.6 people per km². Houston is located at 35.0334°N, 92.6946°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Houston is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 72070.Houston reveals itself through the steady, patient movement of the West Fork Mill Creek as it carves a path through the low-lying terrain. It lies 14.8 miles west-southwest of Conway, AR (from Conway, AR: bearing 255°T), and is situated 8.6 miles south-southeast of Morrilton. The air here holds the damp, heavy scent of pine and rich soil, grounding Houston in a landscape defined by the quiet presence of Toms Mountain rising in the distance. Sunlight filters through the canopy in thin, golden needles, illuminating the thickets and the tangled growth that persists near the water’s edge. Beyond the immediate tree line, the topography settles into a series of shadowed creases and open clearings that stretch toward the horizon.
Local life in Houston follows the slow, seasonal pulse of the surrounding woods and the rhythms of the nearby River Bend, where the land is left to its own wild reclamation. History here is written in the silence of the timber and the endurance of the small, weathered structures that have seen decades of rural industry pass by. While the nearby expanse of Winford Brake provides a stillness that mirrors the temperament of the inhabitants, the economy remains tied to the land, drawing from the timber and the agriculture that once sustained the pioneers who first settled near the Sandtown Bottoms. People move with a deliberate, measured gait, honoring a heritage that values the work of the hands and the quietude of a life lived away from the clamor of the modern world.

About This Houston Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Houston, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.03342, -92.694609. 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 Houston includes the ZIP code (72070), telephone area code (870), county seat of Perry County (Perryville), and school district assignment (East End 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.
