Explore Jerome, Arkansas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Jerome, 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 Jerome.
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.

Jerome emerges from the flat, alluvial expanse of the southeastern plains where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered under a heavy, humid sky. It lies 23.6 miles west of Greenville, MS (from Greenville, MS: bearing 268°T), and is situated 8.9 miles south-southwest of Dermott. The landscape around Jerome is defined by the slow, deliberate movement of Bayou Bartholomew, which winds through the silty earth only a mile away, and the quiet stillness of Lake Wallace, resting three miles distant in the heat. To the west, the faint, jagged silhouette of Backbone Ridge marks the far edge of the world, though the immediate terrain remains dominated by the rich, dark soil of agricultural fields and patches of stubborn, tangled woodland. At dusk, the light here softens into a bruised purple, casting long, thin shadows that seem to anchor the buildings firmly against the vastness of the surrounding acreage.
Agriculture remains the primary pulse of Jerome, a place where the economy is written in the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest. The legacy of the land is deeply tied to the labor of those who cleared the timber and worked the fertile bottomlands, creating a settlement defined by the stark utility of its architecture and the resilience of its inhabitants. Though the bustle of a larger metropolis feels worlds away, the proximity to Cut-off Creek provides a sanctuary of dense, green thickets where the air carries the scent of damp moss and decaying leaves. Daily life in Jerome moves with a steady, predictable gravity, reflected in the way the local roads mirror the straight lines of the furrows and the patient, watchful pace of a people accustomed to the unpredictable nature of the seasons.

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.
