Explore Sherwood, 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 Sherwood, 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 Sherwood.
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.

Sherwood occupies a quiet expanse of land where the humid, golden light of late afternoon settles over the low-lying terrain. It lies 4.0 miles northeast of North Little Rock, AR (from North Little Rock, AR: bearing 38°T), and is situated 6.0 miles northeast of Little Rock. The landscape remains grounded in the presence of Fivemile Creek, which winds its way through the local topography with a steady, unhurried grace. Residents often look toward the distant silhouette of Purdham Hill, which marks the horizon and provides a sense of permanent scale to the surroundings. Nearby, the quiet waters of Little Indian Lake Number One offer a reflective stillness that balances the surrounding woodland. Throughout the day, the air carries the scent of pine and hardwood, grounding Sherwood in the authentic rhythm of the Arkansas interior.
Sherwood grew from the steady labor of those who recognized the utility of this central location, evolving from agricultural roots into a modern municipality. The local economy thrives on a blend of service-oriented industries and small-scale commerce that sustains the daily needs of the people. While the town expanded through the decades, it maintained a focus on infrastructure that supports a stable, industrious workforce. The legacy of the area is tied to the pragmatism of its founders, who saw potential in the fertile soil and the accessible landscape. Today, the commercial vitality of Sherwood reflects a commitment to progress that respects the traditional character of the region.
Sherwood fosters a cultural identity defined by the neighborly interactions found within the accessible grounds of Fairway Park. The park serves as a primary gathering point for local events, where the sound of children playing frequently mingles with the rustle of the trees in Dark Hollow. This sense of community is bolstered by the presence of individuals like former professional athlete Derek Fisher, who began his journey within the state and embodies the regional spirit of dedication. The pace of life here remains measured, allowing for a deep appreciation of the seasonal shifts in the dogwood and redbud trees. People in Sherwood share a quiet pride in their surroundings, valuing the simple beauty of a life lived close to the land.

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.
