How to Use This Gibson, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Gibson unfolds across a landscape of tempered earth and persistent, quiet growth where the banks of Kellogg Creek carve a winding path through the heavy, loam-rich soil. It lies 4.8 miles north of Sherwood, AR (from Sherwood, AR: bearing 352°T), and is situated 10.0 miles north-northeast of Little Rock. Red Hill rises a single mile to the horizon, a firm and constant presence that catches the amber light of late afternoon, casting long shadows across the fields that stretch toward the distant basin of Brushy Island. The air here holds the damp weight of inland woods, carrying the scent of pine needles and the damp earthiness of the nearby Brown Lake, which sits three miles away as a still, reflective mirror for the shifting clouds. Gibson possesses a gravity of its own, defined not by grand spectacles but by the steady, rhythmic persistence of the land as it transitions from the thickets of hardwood to the open, sun-drenched plains.

Life in Gibson moves with the deliberate pace of a region shaped by generations of labor and the quiet industry of the interior, where the proximity to the Sherwood Sports Complex provides a focal point for the communal energy of the residents. The economy draws its strength from the cycles of the earth and the local transit of goods, with the history of the area deeply rooted in the cultivation of the surrounding acreage and the careful management of the waterways. Development remains modest and purposeful, favoring a connection to the natural geography over the rapid sprawl seen in larger hubs. Even as the modern world encroaches, Gibson retains a distinct character, defined by the way the evening haze settles over the creek beds and the unpretentious dignity of a place that remains firmly anchored to its own quiet, inland geography.

About This Gibson Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gibson, Arkansas. Coordinates: 34.902228, -92.240817. 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 Gibson includes the ZIP code (72404, 72120), telephone area code (501), county seat of Pulaski County (Little Rock), and school district assignment (Pulaski County Special 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.
