How to Use This Newark, Arkansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Newark, 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 Newark.
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.

ZIP code: 72562.Newark anchors itself amidst the quiet persistence of the Arkansas landscape, where the M R Branch carves a narrow, deliberate path through the earth. It lies 12.1 miles east-southeast of Batesville, AR (from Batesville, AR: bearing 113°T), and is situated 11.2 miles northwest of Newport. The air here holds the heavy, sweet scent of damp soil and warming pine, a sensory map that leads one past the placid surface of Mud Creek Site One Reservoir just a short distance away. To the west, the faint, hazy silhouette of Tucker Ridge defines the horizon, providing a silent boundary to the expansive sky. The terrain shifts from open fields to dense pockets of hardwood that catch the long, amber light of late afternoon, turning the leaves into flickering bronze. It is a place where the geography is not merely observed but felt in the slow, rhythmic transition from the shaded depths of Gum Hollow to the open, sun-drenched plains that define the local topography.
Newark maintains a steady, industrious character, shaped by the practical demands of the land and the endurance of those who work it. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the regional harvest and the steady hum of local trade, echoing the legacy of early settlers who recognized the value of these fertile, inland reaches. History lingers in the quietude of the streets, far from the frantic pace of larger hubs, finding a modern reflection in the preservation efforts at Jacksonport State Park, which keeps the broader narrative of the region alive for the curious traveler. Life in Newark moves with a deliberate, unadorned grace, favoring the utility of the workshop and the stillness of the porch over the clamor of modern industry. Whether watching the shadows lengthen across a neighbor's field or noting the seasonal turn of the dogwood, residents participate in a life defined by direct connection to the soil and a quiet, steadfast resilience.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Newark, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.701744, -91.441522. 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 Newark includes the ZIP code (72562), telephone area code (501), county seat of Independence County (Batesville), and school district assignment (Cedar Ridge 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.
