Explore Cushman, 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 Cushman, 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 Cushman.
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.

Cushman emerges from the dense, hardwood-shadowed landscape where the persistent waters of Spring Creek carve a quiet path through the limestone earth. It lies 9.5 miles northwest of Batesville, AR (from Batesville, AR: bearing 318°T), and is situated 14.1 miles north-northwest of Southside. Brooks Hill rises abruptly a mere mile to the east, its jagged silhouette often catching the bruised purple light of late afternoon, while the deeper shadows of Big Hollow hold the damp, cool air long after the sun has retreated. The ground here is thin and rocky, a testament to the ancient mineral wealth that once defined the character of the soil, leaving the woods to grow in a sparse, stubborn rhythm of oak and hickory. When the wind moves through the canopy, the leaves produce a dry, rattling sound that seems to echo the town’s own measured, deliberate pace, far removed from the frantic pulse of the modern world.
Cushman preserves the remnants of a legacy built upon the extraction of manganese, an industry that once drew laborers to these ridges to pull the dark ore from the earth. While the heavy machinery has long since fallen silent, the scars of those excavations remain as a quiet geography of craters and overgrown mounds that soften with each passing season. Today, the local economy turns on a more muted axis, with the residents looking toward the regional stability provided by the nearby Batesville North Complex for recreation and connection to the wider woods. Life here is defined by the shifting seasons of the inland plains, where the humidity of summer yields to a crisp, gray winter, and the occasional traveler moving toward the distant shores of Cedar Lake finds the rhythm of the place dictated by the slow, steady persistence of the land itself.

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.
