Explore Woodson, 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 Woodson, 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 Woodson.
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.

Woodson sits upon the low, fertile plains of Arkansas, where the horizon stretches wide and the sky holds a heavy, humid clarity that seems to magnify the afternoon sun. It lies 15.7 miles south-southeast of Little Rock, AR (from Little Rock, AR: bearing 163°T), and is situated 7.5 miles east-southeast of East End. The landscape here is defined by a deep, alluvial richness, punctuated by the quiet, silver-gray surface of Ferguson Lake and the slow, deliberate meander of Pennington Bayou. To the west, the faint, hazy silhouette of Counterfeit Ridge provides a rugged backdrop to the otherwise level expanse of fields and hardwood timber. The air in Woodson often carries a faint, earthy scent of damp loam and pine, particularly at dusk when the light turns a bruised, honeyed gold and the cicadas begin their rhythmic pulse against the deepening shadows of the trees.
Woodson remains a place defined by its enduring relationship with the earth, where the local economy has long been anchored by the cycles of agriculture and the quiet persistence of rural industry. While the nearby Arkansas River Pool 5 offers a space for the rhythmic movement of water and regional wildlife, the life of the inhabitants remains tethered to the steady, unadorned work of the fields and the small-scale commerce that keeps the neighborhood functioning. History here is not found in grand monuments, but in the way the generations have adapted to the terrain, building their lives amidst the seasonal shifts that dictate the pace of the day. Even as the modern world brushes against the edges of the land, Woodson retains a grounded character, marked by the simple, functional architecture of a place that values utility and the quiet continuity of its own slow, measured existence.

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.
