How to Use This Alexander, Arkansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Alexander, 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 Alexander.
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.

Alexander is located at 34.6186°N, 92.4512°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Alexander is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 72002.Alexander emerges from the confluence of Arkansas woodland and the steady, rhythmic passage of Crooked Creek, which carves a quiet path through the local terrain. It lies 3.6 miles northeast of Bryant, AR (from Bryant, AR: bearing 49°T), and is situated 9.4 miles east-northeast of Benton. The landscape is defined by a subtle, undulating topography that rises toward the distant silhouette of Fourche Mountain on the horizon, while the low-lying basin of Crystal Valley stretches out to provide a sense of expansive, earthen stillness. Just a mile away, the canopy of Otter Creek offers a refuge of dense timber and quiet trails, grounding the environment in the persistent, verdant cycle of the seasons. The air here holds a particular weight in the late afternoon, when the light catches the dust of the unpaved backroads and turns the surrounding pines into pillars of deep, muted bronze.
Alexander carries the quiet marks of its development as a satellite of the capital region, functioning today as a residential anchor where the pace is dictated by the slow, deliberate movement of the local economy. Historical growth here was fueled by the steady reach of the railroad and the modest requirements of agrarian life, leaving behind a character that values independence and a certain understated resilience. Residents often find themselves drawn to the nearby waters of Indian Springs Lake, a place where the water mirrors the shifting gray of the sky and provides a focal point for the community’s social life. Life in Alexander moves with an unadorned directness, favoring the practical needs of the daily commute and the maintenance of a lifestyle that remains tethered to the soil and the shade of the hardwood canopy.

About This Alexander Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Alexander, Arkansas. Coordinates: 34.618562, -92.451219. 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 Alexander includes the ZIP code (72002), telephone area code (870), county seat of Pulaski County (Little Rock), and school district assignment (Bryant Public 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.
