How to Use This Barker Heights, North Carolina Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Barker Heights, North Carolina. 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 North Carolina 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 Barker Heights.
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.

About Barker Heights, North Carolina
Barker Heights is a locality in Henderson County, North Carolina, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,249. The population density is 485.6 people per km². Barker Heights is located at 35.3112°N, 82.4440°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 28792.Barker Heights reveals itself through the steady, low-slung passage of the Bat Fork, a waterway that marks the rhythm of the land as it migrates past the local soil. It lies 1.1 miles east-southeast of Hendersonville, NC (from Hendersonville, NC: bearing 118°T), and is situated 8.9 miles south-southeast of Fletcher. The terrain here is defined by a persistent, inland gravity, where the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains frame the horizon in shades of bruised violet and charcoal. Within the immediate landscape, Henderson County - Jackson Park provides a central clearing where the grass catches the slanted light of late afternoon, turning a sharp, electric green before the shadows deepen. A few miles away, the cool, hidden descent of Turley Falls offers a sudden, sharp contrast to the quiet humidity of the plains, while the still, reflective surface of Temple Terrace Lake acts as a mirror for the shifting clouds.
Barker Heights maintains a character forged by the steady pulse of regional commerce and the long, quiet persistence of those who work the earth and the nearby industrial corridors. The local economy draws its strength from the legacy of the agrarian landscape, supplemented by a modest, industrious output that favors steady production over sudden expansion. History clings to the quiet intersections and the weathered architecture that has seen generations move from traditional trade toward modern service, yet the pace remains deliberate, dictated more by the turning of the seasons than by the frantic demands of the outside world. Residents navigate the days with a measured courtesy, their lives tethered to the familiar geography of the local ridges and the sheltered quiet of Dark Cove, where the air retains a cool, damp clarity long after the sun has retreated.

About This Barker Heights Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Barker Heights, North Carolina. Coordinates: 35.311228, -82.444008. 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 Barker Heights includes the ZIP code (28792), telephone area code (828), county seat of Henderson County (Hendersonville), and school district assignment (Henderson County Schools).
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.
