Explore St. Francis, 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 St. Francis, 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 St. Francis.
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.

St. Francis emerges from the flat, alluvial expanse of the Arkansas landscape like a quiet pause in the long, rhythmic breathing of the plains. It lies 4.4 miles east-southeast of Forrest City, AR (from Forrest City, AR: bearing 104°T), and is situated 16.5 miles south-southeast of Wynne. The horizon here is vast and unencumbered, where the heavy, humid air of late afternoon turns the sky into a bruised plum, casting a long, amber glow over the fields that stretch toward the distant Saint Francis Floodway. Only a mile away, the dark, silken current of Crow Creek moves with a deliberate, muddy grace, carving a subtle depression through the silt. The light at dusk possesses a singular, golden density, catching the fine dust of the harvest and suspending it in the cooling air, while the nearby expanse of Forrest Hills Park offers a quiet refuge of hardwood timber that thins into the open, cultivated earth.
St. Francis retains the steady, unassuming character of a place built upon the labor of the soil, where the economy remains tethered to the patient cycles of planting and harvest. The town carries the weight of a long agricultural heritage, its streets quiet and functional, mirroring the pragmatic temperament of those who have worked this land for generations. Three miles to the east, the waters of Brushy Lake hold the reflection of the clouds in a stillness that feels untouched by the frantic pace of the outside world. Life in St. Francis moves with the measured cadence of the seasons, a slow, enduring rhythm punctuated by the mechanical hum of machinery in the distance and the occasional, sharp call of a bird across the open expanse of the fields.

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.
