How to Use This Pottsville, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Pottsville emerges from the transition between the flat, fertile expanses of the lowlands and the thickening timber of the interior, defined by the steady, unassuming presence of Galla Creek as it carves its path through the silt. It lies 5.2 miles east-southeast of Russellville, AR (from Russellville, AR: bearing 114°T), and is situated 6.4 miles east-northeast of Dardanelle. The air here holds a particular weight, smelling of damp earth and the cooling iron of the soil as the afternoon sun retreats toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Petit Jean Mountain. Beyond the immediate reach of the town’s quiet streets, the land settles into the quietude of Galla Creek Lake, where the water mirrors the shifting gray and amber of the clouds. Daily activity often centers around the Pottsville Baseball Field, a space where the rhythm of the game punctuates the stillness of a summer evening, grounding the local pulse in the simple, repetitive motions of practice and play.

Pottsville carries the quiet weight of a place built upon the movement of people across the interior, shifting from early agrarian roots toward a modern economy that leans into the regional flow of commerce. The history of the area is written in the persistence of those who worked the surrounding fields, finding their footing in the shadow of the nearby terrain, including the distant, sheltered reaches of Steep Hollow. Life in Pottsville operates with a deliberate, measured cadence, where the labor of the day gives way to the long, lingering shadows of dusk that stretch across the open ground. This is a landscape of hardwood stands and cleared acreage, where the local character is defined less by grand monuments and more by the enduring connection to the land that sustains the community, keeping the pace of existence synchronized with the slow, seasonal turn of the horizon.

About This Pottsville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pottsville, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.230606, -93.060839. 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 Pottsville includes the ZIP code (72858), telephone area code (479), county seat of Pope County (Russellville), and school district assignment (Pottsville Public Schools).

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.
