How to Use This Jasper, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Jasper occupies a rugged expanse where the Little Buffalo River carves a path through the limestone bedrock, defining the terrain with its steady, clear flow. It lies 15.9 miles south-southwest of Harrison, AR (from Harrison, AR: bearing 196°T), and is situated 32.6 miles southeast of Berryville. High ground rises sharply toward the silhouette of Round Mountain, while the surrounding timberland serves as a threshold to the vast, protected expanse of the Ozark National Forest. Sunlight here possesses a particular clarity, filtering through the dense canopy of the Henry Koen Experimental Forest to cast long, angular shadows across the uneven earth. Dogwood Flat provides a rare level basin in an otherwise vertical landscape, grounding the jagged horizon in a quiet, grassy expanse of green. The air is often heavy with the scent of damp shale and cooling stone, a sensory reminder of the deep, geological patience that defines this Arkansas territory.

Jasper emerged from the necessity of mountain transit, anchoring a economy once reliant on timber and the hard-won yields of small-scale agriculture. Today, the local character remains tied to the rhythms of the seasons and the maintenance of a slow, purposeful pace that favors self-sufficiency over rapid expansion. Residents often look toward the Alum Cove National Recreation Trail for a connection to the deeper wilds, respecting the solitude that the landscape naturally enforces. The architecture of the place reflects a legacy of pragmatic building, where simple frame structures withstand the cyclical dampness of the hollows. Life in Jasper persists as a quiet negotiation between the inhabitant and the steep, unyielding terrain, where the evening quiet is broken only by the wind moving through the hardwoods and the distant, constant movement of the river.

About This Jasper Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Jasper, Arkansas. Coordinates: 36.008132, -93.186566. 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 Jasper includes the ZIP code (72641), telephone area code (479), county seat of Newton County (Jasper), and school district assignment (Jasper 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.
