Explore Sulphur 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 Sulphur 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 Sulphur 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.

Sulphur Springs occupies a quiet stretch of land defined by the deliberate, slow-moving currents of North Fork Cadron Creek. It lies 29.0 miles north-northeast of Conway, AR (from Conway, AR: bearing 16°T), and is situated 7.2 miles south of Fairfield Bay. The terrain here rises into the rugged, uneven topography of the Ozarks, where the horizon is often defined by the distant, hazy silhouette of Lunsford Point. Sunlight filters through a dense canopy of oak and hickory, casting long, fractured shadows across the damp leaf litter of the forest floor. Beyond the immediate treeline, the landscape dips into the low, humid basin of Greasy Valley, a place where the air hangs heavy and still during the peak of the afternoon. A few miles away, the expansive waters of Greers Ferry Lake offer a cooling influence, acting as a focal point for the regional landscape that keeps the soil hydrated and the vegetation lush.
Sulphur Springs maintains a character forged by the cycles of the seasons and the quiet persistence of its inhabitants. While the local economy has transitioned away from the early industries that first drew people to these mineral-rich waters, the rhythm of daily life remains tethered to the land and the changing light that colors the hills at dusk. Visitors who make their way to Greers Ferry Lake for recreation often pass through the quiet lanes of Sulphur Springs, noting the modest architecture and the unhurried way the residents move through their day. The history of the area is etched not in grand monuments, but in the enduring presence of the timber and the subtle, steady flow of the water that shaped the valley long before the arrival of modern roads.

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.
