Explore Ulm, 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 Ulm, 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 Ulm.
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.

Ulm occupies a flat, expansive stretch of agricultural land where the earth meets the sky in a long, unbroken horizon. It lies 39.2 miles northeast of Pine Bluff, AR (from Pine Bluff, AR: bearing 52°T), and is situated 7.4 miles northeast of Stuttgart. Sherril Creek meanders through the quiet landscape, its banks lined with the dense, dark thickets of hardwood trees that define the character of the region. During the golden hour, the low sun catches the silt-heavy water, casting a copper glow across the fields that seem to stretch into infinity. To the west, the faint, hazy silhouette of Walnut Ridge offers a distant boundary to the otherwise level terrain, grounding the vast openness of the Arkansas sky. Travelers passing through may find the nearby Trotters Reservoir, a placid body of water that mirrors the drifting clouds and provides a brief, reflective pause in the rhythm of the surrounding plains.
Ulm maintains a stillness that speaks of deep roots in the soil, a place where the economy is measured in the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest. The legacy of the land is visible in the structured rows of crops that define the local industry, a testament to a quiet, diligent existence far removed from the clamor of larger centers. While the pace of life remains slow, the proximity to John Cain Park provides a necessary sanctuary for those seeking the stillness of the woods. The architecture of the area is sparse and functional, reflecting a history of hard work and the simple, enduring beauty of a life governed by the elements. Even in the height of the summer heat, a subtle, cooling breeze often stirs the tall grasses, reminding anyone present that Ulm is a place where the land remains the final arbiter of time.

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.
