Explore Violet Hill, 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 Violet Hill, 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 Violet Hill.
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.

Violet Hill occupies a quiet expanse of the Arkansas highlands where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells of limestone and clay. It lies 28.8 miles north-northwest of Batesville, AR (from Batesville, AR: bearing 337°T), and is situated 6.8 miles southwest of Horseshoe Bend. The landscape is defined by the persistent presence of Little Piney Creek, which carves a modest, winding path through the dense thickets of hardwood that characterize the region. Beyond the immediate canopy, the horizon is anchored by the distant, hazy silhouette of Brushy Ridge, providing a permanent backdrop to the fields that stretch toward the horizon. During the golden hour, the light takes on a peculiar, honeyed quality, catching the dust motes above the meadows and softening the sharp edges of the terrain until the hills seem to exhale the heat of the afternoon.
Violet Hill retains the quiet character of its agrarian origins, where the local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of timber and small-scale cultivation. Life here moves with a steady, unforced pace, often punctuated by the occasional traveler passing through toward Wayside Park, a state park that preserves the native flora and offers a sanctuary for the local wildlife. While the proximity of Gillihan Lake provides a stillness to the surrounding air, the collective memory of the populace is rooted in the deep hollows and the stubborn, fertile soil that has supported generations of families. The social fabric is quiet and self-contained, marked by a preference for the reliable cycles of the seasons over the clamor of industrial expansion.

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.
