How to Use This Mount Olive, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Mount Olive emerges from the dense, verdant folds of the landscape where the White River carves a slow, deliberate path through the limestone bedrock. It lies 28.3 miles southeast of Mountain Home, AR (from Mountain Home, AR: bearing 145°T), and is situated 9.2 miles north of Mountain View. This terrain is defined by the sharp rise of Hickory Knob, which watches over the surrounding woods like a silent sentinel, while the deep, shadowed creases of Reed Hollow offer a cool refuge from the humid afternoon heat. The earth here is thick with the scent of damp loam and decaying leaves, a rich soil that sustains the tangled undergrowth of the Sylamore Wildlife Management Area. As the sun dips below the horizon, the light catches the limestone bluffs, turning the gray stone into a pale, glowing ivory that seems to hold the warmth of the day long after the shadows have lengthened across the forest floor.

Mount Olive carries the quiet weight of generations who carved a livelihood from the timber and the stubborn, rocky soil of the Ozarks. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the land, where the presence of the White River has long dictated the flow of local trade and the movement of those who settle in its proximity. Life here moves with a measured pace, unhurried by the frantic demands of distant metropolitan centers, favoring the steady work of small-scale agriculture and the stewardship of the neighboring wilderness. Visitors often find their way toward the nearby Norfork Lake, seeking the quiet solitude that defines this corner of the state. In the soft, melodious vernacular of the residents, one hears the echoes of a history built on self-reliance, a place where the character of the people is as resilient and enduring as the hardwood forests that define the horizon.

About This Mount Olive Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mount Olive, Arkansas. Coordinates: 36.003119, -92.090465. 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 Mount Olive includes the ZIP code (72386, 72727, 72556), telephone area code (479, 501), county seat of Izard County (Melbourne), and school district assignment (Calico Rock 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.
