Explore Winslow, 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 Winslow, 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 Winslow.
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.

Winslow claims a rugged prominence where the West Fork White River carves its path through the dense, verdant terrain of the interior highlands. It lies 18.1 miles south of Fayetteville, AR (from Fayetteville, AR: bearing 176°T), and is situated 9.0 miles south-southeast of West Fork. High above the valley floor, the silhouette of Weedy Rough Mountain dominates the skyline, anchoring a landscape defined by steep inclines and the deep, shadowed creases of Gafield Hollow. Sunlight here behaves with a peculiar patience, lingering on the ridges long after the lower thickets have surrendered to the cool, damp weight of evening. To the east, the sprawling expanse of the Ozark National Forest provides a vast, unyielding backdrop of oak and hickory, while the nearby waters of Lake Shepherd Springs mirror the shifting, bruised colors of the twilight sky.
Winslow emerged as a point of transit along the old rail lines, its economy once tethered to the timber trade and the slow, deliberate movement of goods through these difficult elevations. The pace of life remains tethered to the terrain, marked by the seasonal pulse of the forest and the persistent, quiet endurance of those who cultivate the thin mountain soil. While the steam whistles of the past have long since faded, the remnants of that era persist in the weathered architecture and the slow, methodical habits of the local population. Travelers seeking the solitude of the woods often find their way toward the Butterfield Hiking Trail, drawn by the same quiet stillness that has defined the character of Winslow for generations.

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.
