How to Use This Oakland, Arkansas Map

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

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 Oakland, Arkansas

Oakland is a locality in Marion County, Arkansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 72. The population density is 23.3 people per km². Oakland is located at 36.4609°N, 92.5710°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 72661.

Oakland reveals itself through a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of limestone and the deep, verdant reach of hardwood forests that climb toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Promise Land Ridge. It lies 13.5 miles northwest of Mountain Home, AR (from Mountain Home, AR: bearing 310°T), and is situated 33.9 miles east-northeast of Harrison. The terrain is defined by the sharp, secluded depression of Oak Hollow, where the shadows lengthen early against the slopes, and the earth holds a cool, damp scent of decaying leaves and ancient stone. Nearby, the waters of Mountain Creek carve a winding path through the undergrowth, feeding into the expansive, still expanse of Bull Shoals Lake. The light here at dusk settles with a heavy, honeyed quality, turning the canopy into a mosaic of deep bronze and muted violet, while the air maintains a stillness that suggests the land is exhaling after the long, humid heat of the day.

Oakland exists as a place where the economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the outdoors, drawing those who seek the quietude of the Bull Shoals Recreation Area to navigate the surrounding woods and waters. The history of the region is written in the stubborn endurance of its people, who have long found their livelihood in the timber and the seasonal pulses of the local environment. Life in Oakland moves with a deliberate, unadorned cadence, far removed from the frantic pace of larger centers, favoring the slow accumulation of hours spent tending to land or observing the shifting levels of the nearby reservoir. It is a location where the primary architecture is the natural world itself, leaving the human presence to appear as a modest, occasional guest within a vast, persistent wilderness.

About This Oakland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oakland, Arkansas. Coordinates: 36.460899, -92.570997. 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 Oakland includes the ZIP code (72661), telephone area code (479), county seat of Marion County (Yellville), and school district assignment (Mountain Home 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.
