How to Use This Elm Springs, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Elm Springs occupies a quiet expanse of the Ozark foothills where the land softens into gentle, wooded slopes and fertile bottomlands. It lies 6.0 miles west-northwest of Springdale, AR (from Springdale, AR: bearing 283°T), and is situated 6.7 miles west-southwest of Lowell. Brush Creek carves a winding path through the limestone bedrock, its clear, shallow waters providing a steady pulse for the surrounding fields and pastures. To the north, the distant outline of Pleasant Ridge frames the horizon, while the proximity of Lake Elmdale ensures that the air remains heavy with the scent of damp earth and cooling water as the sun dips below the canopy. Elm Springs City Park serves as the central clearing for the neighborhood, its green grass and shade trees offering a place for the light to catch the dew long after the morning has warmed.

History in Elm Springs remains anchored to the natural springs that first drew settlers to these limestone bluffs, fostering an economy that long relied on the bounty of the soil and the steady flow of water. While the pace of modern life has quickened, the rhythms of the day still follow the turning of the seasons, from the first pale blossoms of redbud in the spring to the slow, golden heat of late summer. The legacy of the early mills and agrarian roots persists in the quiet, methodical work of those who tend the land or commute through the surrounding countryside. Galey Hollow, lying miles to the east, acts as a reminder of the rugged, unyielding geology that defines this region, anchoring Elm Springs to a landscape that is both ancient and enduring.

About This Elm Springs Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Elm Springs, Arkansas. Coordinates: 36.206189, -94.234373. 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 Elm Springs includes the ZIP code (72762, 72728), telephone area code (479), county seat of Washington County (Fayetteville), and school district assignment (Springdale 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.
