How to Use This Gillham, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Gillham marks the intersection of dense woodland and the quiet, deliberate flow of Bellah Creek as it cuts through the landscape. It lies 52.7 miles north-northwest of Texarkana, AR (from Texarkana, AR: bearing 342°T), and is situated 9.2 miles north of De Queen. The earth here holds a heavy, iron-rich weight, supporting stands of pine and hardwood that darken the horizon before the light fails. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Cross Mountains rise against the sky, their ridges blurring into the haze of late afternoon. Gillham Lake occupies the basin, its surface often mirroring the stillness of the surrounding timber, while the deeper pockets of the terrain, such as the sheltered stretches of Glen Canyon, suggest a land shaped by slow, patient erosion.

History in Gillham remains tied to the cycles of the timber and rail industries that once dictated the pace of growth in this part of the state. Life moves with an internal rhythm, dictated by the heat of the sun and the seasonal pulse of the woods, far removed from the frantic shifts of larger centers. Residents often look toward the Dequeen Recreation Area for space to breathe, where the air feels thinner and the canopy opens up under the expansive southern sky. The economy lingers in the quiet persistence of local enterprises, maintaining a character that favors utility and endurance over the fleeting trends of more crowded districts.

About This Gillham Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gillham, Arkansas. Coordinates: 34.169279, -94.316318. 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 Gillham includes the ZIP code (71841), telephone area code (870), county seat of Sevier County (De Queen), and school district assignment (De Queen 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.
