Explore Knobel, 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 Knobel, 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 Knobel.
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.

Knobel emerges from the flat, industrious expanse of the Arkansas lowlands as a quiet intersection of rail lines and fertile soil. It lies 19.0 miles north-northwest of Paragould, AR (from Paragould, AR: bearing 342°T), and is situated 6.2 miles south-southwest of Corning. The horizon here is wide and unobstructed, defined by the relentless geometry of agricultural fields that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Bunker Hill. Within the immediate vicinity, the Dave Donaldson Black River Wildlife Management Area provides a vast, marshy sanctuary where the water reflects the shifting hues of the sky, grounding the landscape in a deep, seasonal permanence. Two miles away, the Little River carves a slow, deliberate path through the dark earth, its banks lined with the tangled, verdant growth typical of the region. When the light fades, the air takes on a heavy, sweet scent of damp soil and drying stalks, a sensory reminder of the land’s quiet, persistent labor.
History in Knobel remains tethered to the iron tracks that once dictated the movement of goods and people across this open plain. The local economy continues to draw its strength from the cycles of the harvest, echoing the rhythms of those who first cleared the brush to establish a foothold in the basin. While modern life moves at its own pace, the influence of the nearby Dave Donaldson Black River Wildlife Management Area serves as a reminder of the wilder, untamed spirit of the region. Those who live here recognize the subtle changes in the wind as the seasons turn, from the humid, heavy heat of midsummer to the sharp, clear chill that settles over the flatlands. It is a place where the daily experience is defined not by grand monuments, but by the steady, unadorned work of sustaining a livelihood in a landscape that demands both patience and respect.

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.
