Explore Ravenden Springs, 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 Ravenden Springs, 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 Ravenden Springs.
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.

Ravenden Springs emerges from the humid, verdant floor of a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of Hall Creek as it carves a path through the limestone bedrock. It lies 43.7 miles northwest of Jonesboro, AR (from Jonesboro, AR: bearing 319°T), and is situated 14.5 miles west-northwest of Pocahontas. The air here holds a heavy, sweet moisture, particularly as the light shifts toward dusk and the shadows lengthen against the slopes of Locust Ridge, which rises sharply to the west to break the horizon. Beyond the immediate canopy of oaks and hickories, the terrain transitions into the subtle, fractured topography of King Hollow, where the ground remains damp and the undergrowth thick with ferns. At this hour, the sky turns a bruised, singular violet, casting a cooling glow over the narrow roads and the weathered wood of structures that have long stood against the relentless humidity of these Arkansas summers.
Ravenden Springs carries the quiet weight of a history built upon the promise of its mineral waters, which once drew travelers seeking restoration in the mineral-rich flow. While the grand hotels that once anchored the local economy have largely faded into memory, the land remains tethered to the rhythms of timber and small-scale agriculture, keeping the pace of daily life deliberate and slow. Those looking for the silence of the woods often venture toward the Harold Alexander/Spring River Wildlife Management Area to the south, or track the stillness of the water at Lost Lake, yet the true character of the locality persists in the porch-sitting stillness of the residents. It is a place where the modern world feels distant, filtered through the rustle of leaves and the constant, low-frequency hum of insects that define the transition from afternoon into the deep, dark quiet of 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.
