How to Use This Birdsong, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Birdsong occupies a flat expanse of fertile earth where the heavy, humid air of the Mississippi Delta settles into the stillness of the afternoon. It lies 17.3 miles north-northwest of Marion, AR (from Marion, AR: bearing 348°T), and is situated 10.3 miles east-southeast of Marked Tree. The landscape surrounding Birdsong consists of vast, open fields that stretch toward the horizon, interrupted only by the dark, dense stands of hardwood timber that define the regional character. Two miles to the east, the waters of Cross Bayou move with a sluggish, deliberate patience, carving a path through the silt and clay that form the foundation of the plains. To the west, the horizon remains unobstructed, save for the occasional silhouette of a distant tree line, while the light at dusk turns the sky into a bruised palette of violet and gold, casting long, thin shadows across the rows of crops.

Agriculture remains the primary pulse of Birdsong, with the seasonal rhythms of planting and harvest dictating the pace of daily affairs. History here is marked by the quiet persistence of those who worked the soil, leaving behind a legacy that is etched into the very layout of the rural roads and the sturdy, unadorned buildings that serve the local trade. Residents often look toward the nearby Wapanocca National Wildlife Refuge when the migratory birds return, a natural sanctuary that offers a respite from the mechanical hum of farm equipment. Beyond the immediate fields, the landscape opens toward the low-lying reaches of Centennial Island, and on clear days, the stillness is broken only by the sharp, distant call of a hawk or the rhythmic rustle of wind through the tall grasses near Lake David.

About This Birdsong Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Birdsong, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.458417, -90.262597. 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 Birdsong includes the ZIP code (72386), telephone area code (501), county seat of Mississippi County (Blytheville), and school district assignment (Rivercrest 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.
