How to Use This Zinc, Arkansas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Zinc, 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 Zinc.

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.

Zinc emerges from the rugged limestone landscape where the persistent waters of Sugar Orchard Creek carve a path through the dense, tangled undergrowth of the Ozark hills. It lies 11.4 miles east-northeast of Harrison, AR (from Harrison, AR: bearing 70°T), and is situated 29.7 miles west of Mountain Home. The terrain surrounding Zinc is defined by the deep, shadowed creases of Tom Young Hollow, which pull the cool morning mist down into the valley floor long after the sun has climbed over the jagged silhouettes of Linton Ridge. Hardwood forests climb the steep slopes, their leaves turning to muted shades of copper and gold as the season wanes, while the air maintains a crisp, limestone-filtered clarity that feels heavy with the scent of damp earth and decaying oak.

Zinc holds a quiet history rooted in the extraction of mineral wealth, a legacy that once drew prospectors to the seams of ore buried deep within the jagged geology of the region. While the industrial fervor of the past has softened into a slower, more deliberate pace of life, the remnants of that era linger in the weathered stone foundations and the quiet, unpaved lanes that trace the contours of the earth. Today, the economy leans into the rhythms of the land, with residents finding a steady, private peace in the isolation of the hollows. Those seeking a broader horizon often venture toward the expanse of Bull Shoals Lake or find recreation in the quiet, forested trails of Wayside Park, yet Zinc remains a place where the primary occupation is simply the patient observation of a changing sky.

About This Zinc Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Zinc, Arkansas. Coordinates: 36.285348, -92.914338. 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 Zinc includes the ZIP code (72601), telephone area code (479), county seat of Boone County (Harrison), and school district assignment (Bergman 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.
