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.

Poplar Grove remains a quiet expanse of fertile earth where the horizon stretches wide across the flat, alluvial plains of Arkansas. It lies 5.3 miles south-southwest of Forrest City, AR (from Forrest City, AR: bearing 197°T), and is situated 11.7 miles north-northwest of Marianna. Candy Creek winds through the low-lying terrain just a mile from the center, its sluggish current carving a path through heavy, dark soil that holds the warmth of the sun long after dusk has settled. Far to the west, the faint, jagged silhouette of Skidmore Ridge breaks the uniformity of the sky, serving as a distant reminder of the rugged highlands beyond the horizon. The air here carries the scent of damp loam and pine, particularly near the wooded boundaries of Forrest Hills Park, where the canopy provides a sanctuary for local wildlife and a shaded retreat from the humid heat of the afternoons.

Poplar Grove preserves a history deeply rooted in the seasonal rhythms of agriculture, where the prosperity of the land dictates the pulse of daily life. The economy relies heavily on the cultivation of vast, open fields that define the regional character, reflecting a legacy of labor and patience that has persisted for generations. While Loeb Lake sits six miles away, offering a still, reflective mirror to the sky, the true vitality of the locality is found in the steady, unassuming persistence of its residents. The light at twilight often turns a soft, bruised purple, casting long shadows across the rows of crops and lending an air of profound stillness to the landscape as the day draws to a close.

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 St. Francis County (Forrest City), 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.
