Explore Branch, Arkansas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Branch, 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 Branch.
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.

Branch reveals itself as a spread of quiet earth where the horizon is defined by the distant, hazy silhouette of Pine Ridge. It lies 24.0 miles east-southeast of Van Buren, AR (from Van Buren, AR: bearing 112°T), and is situated 4.7 miles east of Charleston. The land here slopes with a deliberate grace toward the banks of Pony Creek, which winds through the soil like a silver vein cooling the summer heat. Sunlight at dusk settles heavy and amber over the fields, turning the tall grasses into flickering bronze before the shadows of the hardwoods stretch long and cool across the ground. Only two miles away, the surface of Lake Number Twentyfour remains a mirror of still, dark water, undisturbed by the modern rush and reflecting the deepening indigo of the Arkansas sky.
Agriculture and the slow, steady cultivation of the land have defined the character of Branch since its earliest days, anchoring the local economy to the rhythmic demands of the seasons. People move with a measured pace, their lives shaped by the proximity of expansive tracts like the Cherokee Prairie East Fee, where the native flora flourishes in undisturbed peace. Six miles toward the rising sun, the terrain dips into the quietude of Fox Valley, a natural basin that gathers the evening mist. Life here persists with a grounded simplicity, where the rustle of wind through timber and the distant, low call of the landscape provide a constant, humming backdrop to the daily industry of those who call this place home.

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.
