How to Use This Poplar Grove, Arkansas Map

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

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.

About Poplar Grove, Arkansas

Poplar Grove is a locality in Phillips County, Arkansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 215. The population density is 61.1 people per km². Poplar Grove is located at 34.5522°N, 90.8542°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 72335, 72374.

Poplar Grove emerges from the flat, alluvial expanse of the Arkansas landscape, where the persistent current of Crooked Creek carves a quiet, silt-heavy path through the black earth. It lies 32.0 miles south of Forrest City, AR (from Forrest City, AR: bearing 186°T), and is situated 15.0 miles west of Helena-West Helena. The horizon remains largely unbroken, save for the faint, hazy suggestion of Skidmore Ridge haunting the distance like a long-forgotten memory of upheaval. In the humid heat of the afternoons, the light thickens, turning the air into a golden syrup that clings to the sprawling fields and the dense, dark lines of timber marking the edges of the horizon. Beyond the immediate reach of the fields, the verdant density of Saint Francis National Forest exerts a cooling influence on the climate, while the still, shadowed waters of Cargo Slash wait nine miles away, providing a silent, reflective sanctuary for the local avian life.

Poplar Grove carries the weight of a long agricultural tradition, its economy tethered to the patient cycles of planting and harvest that dictate the rhythm of life for those who remain. The land here demands a singular devotion, and the people mirror the endurance of the soil, their daily movements shaped by the necessity of tending to the crops that define the regional character. Nearby, the grounds of Wayside Park offer a modest respite from the labor, a place where the stillness of the afternoon allows for a brief pause in the relentless work of the fields. History here is not written in grand monuments but in the steady, recurring patterns of the seasons and the unpretentious resilience of a population that understands the value of keeping close to the earth.

About This Poplar Grove Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Poplar Grove, Arkansas. Coordinates: 34.552169, -90.854223. 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 Poplar Grove includes the ZIP code (72335, 72374), telephone area code (501), county seat of Phillips County (Helena-West Helena), and school district assignment (Marvell 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.
