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 occupies a quiet expanse of Yell County where the horizon is defined by the steady, earthen rise of Sand Ridge. It lies 25.8 miles west of Russellville, AR (from Russellville, AR: bearing 276°T), and is situated 8.1 miles east-northeast of Paris. Sunlight hits the heavy timber and open fields with a singular, brassy clarity, illuminating the way the landscape dips toward the moisture-rich banks of East Fork Cane Creek. Only a few miles away, the dense, ancient canopy of the Ozark National Forest offers a cool, shadowed refuge from the midday heat, while the waters of Subiaco Reservoir catch the evening light in flat, silver sheets. The air here holds the scent of damp loam and cooling pine, a constant reminder of the deep, geological patience that shaped this portion of the Arkansas interior.
Plainview retains the steady, unassuming temper of a place built upon the labor of the timber trade and the slow yield of local agriculture. History lingers in the plain, functional architecture of the central streets, where the pace of the day is dictated by the sun rather than the clock. Residents look toward the distant Saint Louis Valley as a marker of the wider world, yet they remain tethered to the rhythms of the land and the endurance of their own small-scale commerce. Those who seek the quietude of the outdoors often travel toward the Magazine Hiking Trail, finding that the character of Plainview is best understood not in grand monuments, but in the way the wind moves through the tall grasses at dusk, signaling a transition into the long, dark stillness of the night.

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.
