Explore Plainview, Arkansas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
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 expanses of the Arkansas landscape as a quiet intersection of timberland and flat, fertile soil. It lies 43.0 miles east-northeast of Pine Bluff, AR (from Pine Bluff, AR: bearing 65°T), and is situated 13.4 miles east of Stuttgart. The air here holds a heavy, static weight, particularly in the sweltering afternoons when the heat radiates off the asphalt and settles into the tall grasses. Only a mile away, the dark, slow-moving waters of La Grue Bayou carve a path through the dense vegetation, while the quiet surface of Cooks Lake remains a mere two miles distant, reflecting the shifting ochre and violet hues of the evening sky. Beyond the immediate canopy of hardwoods, the terrain stretches toward a distant horizon where the silhouette of Little Hill marks the edge of the world, twenty-one miles removed from the center of daily life.
Plainview retains the character of a place built upon the labor of the land, where the rhythms of local agriculture and the harvest of timber define the economic pulse. A short distance to the east, the sprawling expanse of the Dale Bumpers White River National Wildlife Refuge provides a necessary sanctuary for migratory birds and native fauna, acting as a green lung for the surrounding territory. The history of Plainview is written in the simple, sturdy architecture of its buildings and the persistence of its residents, who navigate the seasons with a steady, unadorned resolve. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the rural south, punctuated by the seasonal turning of the leaves and the quiet, persistent hum of insects that rises as the sun dips below the tree line.

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.
