How to Use This Perla, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Perla occupies a modest expanse of land where the earth rises into low, unassuming ridges softened by a thick cover of pine and hardwood. It lies 2.4 miles east of Malvern, AR (from Malvern, AR: bearing 86°T), and is situated 18.8 miles east-southeast of Hot Springs. Town Creek carves a quiet, persistent path through the terrain, its waters carrying the sediment of the surrounding woodlands toward the broader, slow-moving basins of the region. During the humid transitions of dusk, the light here turns a bruised, atmospheric gold, catching the serrated edges of leaves and casting long, thin shadows that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Shinn Mountain. Beyond the immediate tree line, the geography remains defined by the subtle, uneven ground of the interior, where the air holds a heavy, lingering warmth that seems to settle into the very fiber of the soil.

Perla carries the weight of a local economy rooted in the fundamental work of the land, reflecting a history shaped by the steady, industrious pace of those who built their lives away from the bustling centers of the state. Residents often find their way toward Centennial Park, a place that offers a quiet pause from the daily labor of extraction and timber that has long sustained the surrounding area. While the deep, clear waters of Lake Catherine remain a brief journey away, the local rhythm is dictated more by the modest, terrestrial concerns of the immediate landscape. Life in Perla moves with an internal consistency, marked by the changing colors of dogwood and redbud that signal the shifting seasons, and a quiet, unassuming endurance that defines the character of those who remain.

About This Perla Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Perla, Arkansas. Coordinates: 34.364538, -92.771556. 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 Perla includes the ZIP code (72104), telephone area code (501), county seat of Hot Spring County (Malvern), and school district assignment (Malvern Special 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.
