How to Use This Plainview, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Plainview emerges from the low, humid basin where the persistent current of Prairie Creek carves a winding path through the dense, tangled undergrowth. It lies 22.0 miles south-southwest of Russellville, AR (from Russellville, AR: bearing 205°T), and is situated 7.0 miles southeast of Danville. The land here holds a deep, heavy quiet, defined by the way the sunlight thickens in the afternoon, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Danville Mountain. Hardwood forests and thick stands of pine dominate the horizon, their boughs heavy with the weight of the damp earth, while the air carries the scent of pine needles and turned soil. Just two miles away, the surface of Nimrod Lake catches the sky, acting as a silver mirror that anchors the geography of the surrounding timberlands and wild, tangled thickets.

Plainview maintains an economy rooted in the patient work of the land, where the rhythms of agriculture and the timber trade dictate the slow, measured pulse of the day. Life gravitates toward the Nimrod Recreation Area, a place where the local landscape opens up to provide a respite from the dense, sweltering heat of the summer months. History here is quiet and unrecorded in grand monuments, whispered instead through the persistence of families who have worked the fields and navigated the brush for generations. Far from the bustling centers of industry, the character of Plainview remains tethered to the terrain, a place where the stillness of a late-day sky over the distant expanse of Booze Hollow feels like the most significant event in a long, sun-drenched season.
