How to Use This Prairie Grove, Arkansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Prairie 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 Prairie 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.

ZIP codes: 71646, 72753.Prairie Grove occupies a gentle expanse of northwestern Arkansas where the soft, limestone-heavy earth meets the persistent flow of Haw Creek. It lies 54.2 miles east-northeast of El Dorado, AR (from El Dorado, AR: bearing 74°T), and is situated 14.4 miles south of Monticello. This landscape is defined by the quiet interplay of hardwood forests and open, sun-drenched fields that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Gravel Ridge on the horizon. The air here holds a particular weight in the autumn, smelling of drying leaves and damp soil, while the light at dusk settles in long, golden layers against the bark of ancient oaks. Beyond the immediate tree line, the terrain shifts into a series of modest rises that break the flatness of the local meadows, creating a rhythm of shadows that lengthen as the sun retreats.
Prairie Grove maintains a steady pulse rooted in the agricultural heritage of the region, where the labor of the land has long dictated the quiet mechanics of daily life. The legacy of the area is inextricably linked to the significant Civil War engagement that occurred here, a history honored today through the preserved grounds of the battlefield that anchors the local identity. Residents often find respite in the simple, quiet atmosphere of Wayside Park, which offers a reprieve from the modest commerce along the main thoroughfares. Economic life remains grounded in a blend of small-scale industry and the enduring influence of farming, keeping the pace of Prairie Grove deliberate and measured, far removed from the frantic motion of more urban centers.

About This Prairie Grove Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Prairie Grove, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.986113, -94.303383. 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 Prairie Grove includes the ZIP code (71646, 72753), telephone area code (870, 479), county seat of Drew County (Monticello), and school district assignment (Prairie Grove 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.
