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.

Mount Vernon unfolds across a landscape defined by the persistent, winding course of Basham Creek, which carves a quiet path through the terrain. It lies 25.2 miles northwest of Russellville, AR (from Russellville, AR: bearing 319°T), and is situated 5.9 miles north-northeast of Clarksville. The air here holds the weight of damp earth and cooling timber, a sensory reminder of the proximity to the Ozark National Forest, which begins its dense, shadowed reach only two miles away. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the land rises in thoughtful, measured swells toward the silhouette of Bee Ridge, a jagged spine of rock and pine that anchors the horizon. When the light of late afternoon catches the canopy, the hardwoods shift from deep emerald to a bruised, atmospheric violet, casting long, lean shadows across the fields that stretch toward the stillness of Lake Ludwig.

Economic life in Mount Vernon remains tied to the slow, deliberate rhythms of the land, where the labor of the soil has long dictated the calendar of the seasons. History here is felt in the stubborn persistence of small-scale agriculture and the quiet maintenance of homesteads that have weathered generations of humid summers and sharp, biting winters. The local character is one of solitude and self-reliance, shaped by the rugged isolation of nearby Officers Hollow and the occasional traveler seeking the quiet solitude of the Peggy Steep Trail. Though the world beyond the ridge moves with a different velocity, life in Mount Vernon preserves a singular, focused intensity, marked by the simple, enduring presence of the landscape that surrounds every porch and pasture.
