Explore Mount Pleasant, 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 Mount Pleasant, 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 Pleasant.
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 Pleasant emerges from the rugged terrain of the Ozark foothills, where the horizon is defined by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge. It lies 14.7 miles north-northwest of Batesville, AR (from Batesville, AR: bearing 334°T), and is situated 19.6 miles north-northwest of Southside. The land itself is a patchwork of dense hardwood forests and open, sun-bleached pastures that dip into the quiet depths of Cooper Hollow. A mile to the west, the Barren Fork winds its way through the limestone bedrock, its waters moving with a deliberate, sluggish patience that dictates the slow pace of the afternoon. As the sun begins to retreat behind the timberline, the air takes on a crisp, cooling weight, casting long, violet shadows across the fields that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the light has faded.
Mount Pleasant maintains a character forged by generations of agrarian resilience, where the economy remains tethered to the cycles of the soil and the quiet industry of the timber trade. The history of the locality is etched into the weathered siding of its older barns and the gravel roads that branch off toward Beatty Pond, providing a sense of permanence in an ever-shifting landscape. While the Batesville North Complex lies over a dozen miles away, residents here often find their recreation in the simple, unadorned beauty of their own backyards, observing the seasonal migration of birds or the blooming of dogwoods in the spring. Life here is not measured in grand gestures, but in the steady, rhythmic persistence of a culture that honors the land and the quiet solitude of the Arkansas woods.

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.
