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 corner of the landscape where the terrain shifts between the shadowed depths of Harkey Valley and the rising, timbered flanks of Mc Cray Ridge. It lies 12.4 miles west-southwest of Russellville, AR (from Russellville, AR: bearing 241°T), and is situated 9.7 miles west-southwest of Dardanelle. The earth here holds a stubborn, mineral-rich dampness, grounding the air with the scent of wet shale and warming pine needles that drift down from the nearby Ozark National Forest. To the west, the land yields to the steady, unpretentious flow of Chickalah Creek, while the horizon is marked by the hazy, blue-gray silhouettes of distant uplands. Light at dusk possesses a singular quality in Sulphur Springs, catching the serrated edges of the forest canopy and casting long, bruised-purple shadows that stretch across the open fields until the darkness feels heavy and absolute.
Historical accounts of Sulphur Springs often return to the restorative promise of its namesake mineral waters, which once drew travelers seeking a reprieve from the rigors of frontier life. While the initial fervor for the springs has long since receded into a more modest, agrarian quietude, the local economy remains tethered to the slow, seasonal rhythms of the forest and the small-scale cultivation of the surrounding acreage. Life here follows the deliberate pace of the sun, punctuated by the occasional passage of a vehicle on the narrow roads or the distant, rhythmic work of timber management. Bogs Lake remains a silent presence just a few miles away, its surface often mirroring the stillness of the afternoon sky, serving as a quiet witness to the enduring, unassuming character of the people who reside in this portion of the state.

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.
