How to Use This Summit, Arkansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Summit, 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 Summit.
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.

ZIP codes: 72677, 72687.Summit emerges from the limestone-flecked earth as a quiet gathering of dwellings defined by the persistent, rhythmic passage of the Town Branch. It lies 18.0 miles west-southwest of Mountain Home, AR (from Mountain Home, AR: bearing 251°T), and is situated 23.3 miles east of Harrison. The landscape surrounding Summit is characterized by a topography of dense hardwood forests and deep, shaded depressions like Hawkins Hollow, where the light at dusk turns a bruised, heavy purple against the canopy. Only a short distance away, the expansive waters of Bull Shoals Lake catch the sky, providing a mirror to the shifting clouds that drift over the land. The proximity to Kelly's Slab offers a stark, geological reminder of the region’s ancient foundation, where the strata of the earth lie exposed in quiet, silent layers beneath the roots of oak and hickory.
Economic life in Summit has long been tethered to the rugged temperament of the soil and the modest industry that sustains those who work it. While the pace of the day is dictated by the sun and the seasonal turn of the crops, the influence of the nearby landscape ensures that the local identity remains firmly rooted in the traditions of the Ozarks. History here is not written in grand monuments but is instead held in the steady, unassuming maintenance of homesteads and the collective memory of families who have navigated the terrain for generations. Even when the heat of the afternoon hangs heavy over the fields, the air carries a crisp, clean clarity, and the people of Summit continue their work with a deliberate, measured persistence that honors the quiet dignity of the land.

About This Summit Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Summit, Arkansas. Coordinates: 36.252292, -92.690721. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Summit includes the ZIP code (72677, 72687), telephone area code (479), county seat of Marion County (Yellville), and school district assignment (Yellville-Summit School District).
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.
