How to Use This Monroe, Arkansas Map

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

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.

About Monroe, Arkansas

Monroe is a locality in Monroe County, Arkansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 51. The population density is 26.8 people per km². Monroe is located at 34.7348°N, 91.1046°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 72108.

Monroe presents itself as a quiet expanse where the horizon is defined by the steady, unyielding presence of the land. It lies 26.0 miles southwest of Forrest City, AR (from Forrest City, AR: bearing 223°T), and is situated 19.9 miles west of Marianna. The terrain around Monroe consists of low-slung, fertile plains that catch the long, honeyed light of late afternoon, casting shadows that stretch across the fields like ink spilled on parchment. To the northwest, the distant silhouette of Walnut Ridge serves as a jagged anchor against the sky, while the local topography dips into the fertile depressions of Warrior Bottom. Two miles away, the dark, silt-heavy waters of Big Piney Creek carve a slow path through the clay, providing a rhythmic, constant companion to the fields that surround the settlement.

Monroe retains the character of a place built on the cycles of the harvest and the patient labor of the soil. The local economy remains tethered to the productivity of the surrounding acreage, where the scent of turned earth and pine needles lingers in the humid air. Residents often look toward the nearby Big Creek Wildlife Management Area for a reprieve from the heat, or find a moment of stillness along the quiet banks of Whistling Lake, four miles from the center of activity. Life in Monroe moves with a deliberate, measured pace, indifferent to the frantic urgencies of distant capitals, preferring the predictable turning of the seasons and the simple, enduring gravity of the rural landscape.

About This Monroe Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Monroe, Arkansas. Coordinates: 34.734819, -91.104566. 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 Monroe includes the ZIP code (72108), telephone area code (501), county seat of Monroe County (Clarendon), and school district assignment (Clarendon 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.
