How to Use This Bearden, Arkansas Map

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

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 Bearden, Arkansas

Bearden occupies a quiet expanse of the Ouachita foothills, where the earth is defined by dense stands of shortleaf pine and long-shadowed hardwoods that hold the humidity of the southern afternoons. It lies 15.9 miles northeast of Camden, AR (from Camden, AR: bearing 52°T), and is situated 13.2 miles west-southwest of Fordyce. The landscape here is defined by a rhythmic, undulating topography that gives way to the low-lying basin of Two Bayou, which meanders through the landscape just a mile away, carving a path through the rich, silty soil. Beyond the local canopy, the distant silhouette of Harvin Ridge haunts the horizon like a faint, serrated bruise against the pale sky. On humid evenings, the air around Covington Pond, located two miles off, grows heavy with the scent of damp loam and pine needles, cooling the day’s heat into a stillness that feels almost heavy enough to touch.

Bearden emerged from the expansion of the timber industry, a history still etched into the weathered wood of older structures and the lingering cadence of the local mills. The economy remains tethered to the forest, with the rhythmic hum of logging trucks serving as the town’s primary pulse, echoing the labor that once defined the arrival of the railroad. For those seeking a moment of respite, Wayside Park offers a quiet clearing three miles from the center, where the light filters through the canopy in thin, golden needles. Life in Bearden moves with a deliberate, unhurried gravity, shaped by generations who have learned to measure time not by the clock, but by the slow, seasonal turning of the woods and the persistent, brown-water current of the local creeks.

About This Bearden Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bearden, Arkansas. Coordinates: 33.724553, -92.615714. 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 Bearden includes the ZIP code (71720), telephone area code (870), county seat of Ouachita County (Camden), and school district assignment (Bearden 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.
