How to Use This Alix, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Alix draws its distinct character from the quiet meanderings of Cedar Creek, which carves a modest path through the low-lying terrain of the Arkansas interior. It lies 34.8 miles east of Van Buren, AR (from Van Buren, AR: bearing 91°T), and is situated 7.0 miles southeast of Ozark. The landscape surrounding Alix is defined by the heavy, loamy soil of the river basin, where thick stands of hardwood timber stand as sentinels against the encroaching humidity of the afternoon. To the distant horizon, the silhouette of Sand Ridge looms in a hazy, muted violet, anchoring the view while the nearby waters of Lake Dardanelle offer a sprawling, glassy expanse that mirrors the shifting patterns of the clouds. During the golden hour, the light here possesses a particular, syrupy quality, clinging to the tall grasses and highlighting the subtle iron tones in the earth that have grounded this land for generations.

Alix traces its roots to the early agricultural developments that favored the fertile, damp ground of the region, where the economy has long been tethered to the rhythms of the soil and the transport of raw goods. While modern machinery has altered the pace of labor, the fundamental trade remains tied to the cycles of planting and harvest, mirroring the quiet persistence of the local folk who move with a deliberate, measured caution. Beyond the fields, the Dardanelle Recreation Area serves as a primary point of stillness for those seeking respite, offering a space where the noise of commerce fades into the rustle of pine needles. The proximity to Philpott Valley further shapes the local climate, acting as a funnel for the shifting winds that cool the humid air, ensuring that Alix maintains a singular, unhurried posture against the broader progression of the state.

About This Alix Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Alix, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.424808, -93.730472. 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 Alix includes the ZIP code (72821, 72820), telephone area code (479), county seat of Franklin County (Charleston), and school district assignment (Ozark 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.
