How to Use This Mount Vernon, Arkansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mount Vernon, 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 Vernon.
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 Mount Vernon, Arkansas
Mount Vernon is a locality in Columbia County, Arkansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 144. The population density is 55.0 people per km². Mount Vernon is located at 35.2236°N, 92.1240°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Mount Vernon is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 71770, 72830, 72111.Mount Vernon emerges from the quiet, dense woodland of the Arkansas interior, defined by a landscape of persistent green and the soft, humid weight of the regional air. It lies 9.2 miles west-northwest of Magnolia, AR (from Magnolia, AR: bearing 298°T), and is situated 26.3 miles south-southeast of Hope. The terrain shifts across a series of modest elevations, where sunlight filters through the canopy in thin, pale shafts that illuminate the damp earth and the tangled undergrowth of the forest floor. A mile to the east, the stillness of Lake Columbia holds the reflection of the clouds, while Beech Creek meanders through the lower reaches of the forest, carving a path through the silt and stone. Far to the west, the faint, hazy suggestion of Cedar Ridge marks the horizon, a distant silhouette that anchors the sky against the sprawling, tree-laden plains.
Mount Vernon retains the quiet character of a settlement built upon the rhythms of the soil and the slow, deliberate work of the land. The economy remains tethered to the cycles of the forest and the small-scale cultivation that sustains the local life, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. Residents often look toward the conservation efforts at Falcon Bottoms Natural Area, where the preservation of the bottomland provides a sanctuary for the native flora and fauna that have long defined this territory. Life here moves with a steady, unforced pace, where the evening light lingering over the distant reaches of Stockton Bottom signals the close of another day, and the community persists in a quiet, enduring harmony with the geography that surrounds it.

About This Mount Vernon Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mount Vernon, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.223605, -92.12398. 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 Vernon includes the ZIP code (71770, 72830, 72111), telephone area code (479, 501), county seat of Columbia County (Magnolia), and school district assignment (Mount Vernon-Enola 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.
