Explore Smithville, 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 Smithville, 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 Smithville.
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.

Smithville emerges from the quiet, verdant expanse of the Arkansas landscape where the persistent waters of Salt Creek carve a deliberate path through the earth. It lies 5.4 miles east-northeast of El Dorado, AR (from El Dorado, AR: bearing 77°T), and is situated 13.0 miles southeast of Smackover. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that clings to the hardwoods and pines, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Pigeon Hills marks the far horizon like a faint brushstroke against the sky. Sunlight at dusk catches the silt-laden ripples of the creek, turning the water into a ribbon of tarnished copper that winds past modest clearings and thickets of brush. Though the terrain remains largely subdued, the land possesses a stoic, grounded quality, where the shadows lengthen slowly across the fields and the evening light settles with a weight that feels as old as the soil itself.
Smithville retains the echoes of a modest, agrarian legacy, reflecting a pace of life governed by the seasonal cycles of the surrounding woods and fields. While the local economy remains tied to the quiet rhythms of regional trade and land stewardship, the presence of Lions Club Park provides a communal anchor where the residents gather amidst the sheltering trees. The proximity of Calion Lake, located but a short distance away, offers a broader expanse of water that reflects the changing temper of the seasons, from the pale, budding greens of spring to the deep, rusted ochre of autumn. Life in Smithville moves with a measured, deliberate gravity, defined not by grand monuments, but by the steady, unadorned persistence of a people whose daily labor honors the quietude of the land they occupy.

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.
