How to Use This Magness, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Magness occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth rises in low, steady swells toward the distant silhouette of Tucker Ridge. It lies 10.1 miles east-southeast of Batesville, AR (from Batesville, AR: bearing 117°T), and is situated 8.0 miles east of Southside. Mud Creek traces a winding path through the landscape, its slow, sediment-heavy current carving a subtle depression into the soil before it meanders toward the stillness of Mud Creek Site One Reservoir. Hardwood stands dominate the perimeter, their branches casting elongated shadows that soften the edges of the fields as the afternoon sun begins its descent. In the humid, heavy air of late summer, the light turns a bruised gold, catching the dust kicked up from unpaved roads and settling over the brush in a way that makes the entire horizon feel suspended in time.

Magness holds a history tied to the persistent labor of the land, where the rhythms of local agriculture have long dictated the pace of the day. While the economy remains rooted in the yields of these fields and the quiet movement of timber, the presence of Gum Hollow serves as a reminder of the region’s deep, carved topography. Those seeking the wider expanse of preserved wilderness often travel toward Wayside Park, yet the local character remains defined by the immediate, pragmatic reality of small-scale industry and the slow, deliberate work of seasonal harvests. Life in Magness is measured not by the transit of outsiders, but by the steady maintenance of fences, the shifting colors of the canopy, and the way the evening cooling draws the heat out of the dark, fertile earth.
