Explore Dumas, 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 Dumas, 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 Dumas.
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.

Dumas unfolds across a flat, expansive horizon where the sky exerts a heavy, luminous pressure upon the tilled earth. It lies 37.6 miles southeast of Pine Bluff, AR (from Pine Bluff, AR: bearing 129°T), and is situated 18.6 miles north-northwest of McGehee. The landscape here favors the horizontal, defined by the relentless geometry of fields that stretch toward the hazy distance, interrupted only by the occasional thicket of hardwood or the slow, deliberate winding of Oakwood Bayou. Sunlight in these parts possesses a syrupy density, turning the late afternoon air into a golden medium that clarifies every vein on a leaf and every furrow in the soil. Residents often seek the quiet green perimeter of Memorial Park to escape the heat, finding a brief, shaded reprieve that stands in stark contrast to the vast, unshielded openness of the surrounding plains.
Agriculture dictates the pulse of life in Dumas, an economy bound to the cycle of planting and harvest that has long defined the character of the Delta. The history of the locality remains tethered to the fertile silt deposited by ancient waters, creating a soil so productive it seems to hum with potential energy. While the pace of modern days may seem deliberate to an outsider, the people maintain a focused intensity during the peak of the season, when the machinery of industry hums in unison with the rhythms of the land. Far from the distant, blurred silhouettes of Gaster Hill or the tranquil, hidden waters of Blue Hole, the identity of Dumas persists as a stubborn, vital anchor in the midst of a landscape that demands both respect and an enduring, industrious hand.

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.
