How to Use This Dyess, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Dyess emerges from the flat, alluvial expanse of the Mississippi Delta as a grid of orderly rows and wide, open horizons. It lies 25.9 miles north of Marion, AR (from Marion, AR: bearing 358°T), and is situated 6.7 miles east-southeast of Lepanto. The Tyronza River marks the eastern boundary of this landscape, its sluggish, silt-heavy waters carving a path through the dark, fertile loam that defines the region’s character. To the west, the distant silhouette of Milligan Ridge offers the only deviation from the relentless horizontal plane, standing as a muted blue shadow against the heat-shimmered sky. At dusk, the light here turns a bruised, singular gold, catching the dust kicked up from the fields and illuminating the stark, utilitarian geometry of the homesteads that checker the earth.

Dyess retains the distinct thumbprint of its New Deal origins, established as a cooperative agricultural colony during the Great Depression to provide a fresh start for families displaced by economic collapse. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the soil, with vast fields of cotton and soybeans dominating the view, interrupted only by the occasional irrigation pivot or the quiet passage of a tractor. Beyond the immediate reach of the colony’s central administration building, the land holds echoes of deep history, with the Hampson-Archeological Museum State Park preserving the remnants of earlier civilizations ten miles away. Even the nearby Tyronza Sunk Lands remind the traveler that this ground was once a wild, unruly swamp before the slow work of drainage and labor transformed it into the disciplined, productive acreage that defines the local way of life.
