How to Use This Ola, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Ola emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet gathering of structures defined by the persistent, winding path of Keeland Creek. It lies 17.7 miles south-southwest of Russellville, AR (from Russellville, AR: bearing 197°T), and is situated 9.7 miles east of Danville. The horizon is dominated by the looming, uneven silhouette of Santa Fe Ridge, which casts long, indigo shadows across the landscape as the afternoon sun begins its descent. Less than a mile from the center, the still, reflective surface of Lake Ola-dale captures the shifting colors of the sky, mirroring the dense stands of pine and hardwood that blanket the surrounding terrain. To the north, the expanse of Cane Island creates a subtle depression in the topography, while the proximity of Petit Jean ensures that the wild, unkempt beauty of the native flora remains a constant presence in the daily lives of those who dwell here.

Ola draws its character from a history rooted in the rhythmic cycles of agriculture and the modest industry that sustains the regional economy. The pace of life is dictated by the turning of the seasons and the quiet commerce that flows along the local thoroughfares, where the air often carries the heavy, humid scent of damp soil and sun-warmed timber. Residents move with a deliberate, measured grace, reflecting a culture shaped by the solitude of the woods and the permanence of the ridge. While the modern world presses against the edges of the horizon, the daily existence in Ola remains tethered to the land, preserving a sense of continuity that is as enduring as the slow, seasonal rise of the creek waters.

About This Ola Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ola, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.032312, -93.223234. 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 Ola includes the ZIP code (72853), telephone area code (479), county seat of Yell County (Danville), and school district assignment (Two Rivers 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.
