How to Use This Huntsville, Arkansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Huntsville, 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 Huntsville.
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 Huntsville, Arkansas
Huntsville is a locality in Madison County, Arkansas, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,879. The population density is 206.5 people per km². Huntsville is located at 36.0987°N, 93.7332°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Huntsville is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 72740.Huntsville occupies a sprawling expanse of the Ozark highlands where the heavy, humid air of late summer settles into the deep folds of the earth. It lies 22.7 miles east-southeast of Springdale, AR (from Springdale, AR: bearing 108°T), and is situated 16.0 miles east-northeast of Elkins. Hardwood forests climb the slopes toward Ribbon Ridge, their canopy shifting from deep emerald to the bruised purple of an approaching storm. Near the town, the land drops away into Mantie Hollow, a limestone-carved cradle that holds the cool shadows long after the sun has retreated. The light here has a peculiar, thickening quality at dusk, turning the dust kicked up by passing trucks into a golden haze that lingers over the fields. Water remains the quiet architect of the region, with Town Branch threading its way through the landscape, a narrow ribbon of clarity that sustains the surrounding timber and wild grasses.
Huntsville maintains a legacy rooted in the rugged autonomy of the hill country, where the economy has transitioned from the hard labor of early timber mills to the steady rhythm of local agriculture and small-scale manufacturing. Generations have worked this soil, their lives marked by the seasonal pulse of the harvest and the quiet maintenance of the land. Residents find respite at Withrow Springs State Park, where the subterranean waters emerge from the earth with a consistent, chilling clarity that defies the heat of the plains. While Hindsville Lake lies a short distance away, the character of Huntsville is defined more by the patient, deliberate pace of those who live between the ridges. The town persists as a place where the work of the day is measured by the length of the shadows on the porch, and the quiet endurance of the Ozark people remains the most enduring feature of the local culture.

Detailed location data for Huntsville includes the ZIP code (72740), telephone area code (479), county seat of Madison County (Huntsville), and school district assignment (Huntsville 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.
