Explore Magnolia, 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 Magnolia, 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 Magnolia.
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.

Magnolia occupies a wide expanse of the Arkansas landscape where the horizon stretches out under an expansive, unhurried sky. It lies 32.0 miles southwest of Camden, AR (from Camden, AR: bearing 227°T), and is situated 33.4 miles west of El Dorado. The terrain around Magnolia consists of quiet woodlands and fertile plains that shift in color from deep pine green to the pale gold of late summer grasses. Nations Creek flows with a steady, deliberate pace just one mile from the center, carving a narrow path through the earth that sustains the local flora. Pittman Lake sits three miles away, offering a reflective surface that mirrors the shifting clouds and the changing light of the afternoon. On the distant horizon, the faint, hazy silhouette of Cedar Ridge provides a steady anchor for the view, reminding travelers of the ancient geological shifts that defined this region.
Magnolia maintains a history deeply rooted in the agricultural and resource-based industries that have long sustained the people of the South. The discovery of oil in the early twentieth century fundamentally altered the trajectory of the economy, shifting the focus toward energy production and industrial growth. Today, the local economy balances these traditional industrial roots with a modern commitment to higher education and specialized manufacturing. The influence of Southern Arkansas University remains a central pillar of the workforce, fostering a culture of learning and professional development that supports the broader region. This blend of historic industry and academic focus ensures that Magnolia remains a place where productivity is measured by both the output of the land and the ingenuity of its people.
Magnolia possesses a quiet, dignified character that reveals itself in the careful maintenance of public spaces and the preservation of local traditions. The Cecil Traylor Wilson Memorial Garden provides a serene, verdant sanctuary in the center of the landscape, where the seasonal blooming of flowers marks the passage of time with vibrant color. Residents often gather here to enjoy the stillness, finding a rare moment of respite from the demands of a modern schedule. The town is recognized for its connection to the legacy of the late singer-songwriter Iris DeMent, whose early life in the region infused her artistry with the raw, honest texture of the local vernacular. Annual events and festivals bring the population together, celebrating a shared identity that honors the past while looking toward the changing 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.
