How to Use This Glenwood, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Glenwood emerges where the Caddo River carves a deliberate, winding path through the dense, verdant timberlands of southwestern Arkansas. It lies 30.8 miles west-southwest of Hot Springs, AR (from Hot Springs, AR: bearing 247°T), and is situated 31.8 miles west-northwest of Arkadelphia. The landscape surrounding Glenwood is defined by the persistent rise of the earth toward the silhouette of Reynolds Mountain, which anchors the horizon in a haze of deep forest greens and slate grays. Dense corridors of pine and hardwood stretch outward, eventually transitioning into the protected, sprawling wilderness of the Ouachita National Forest. The air here carries a distinct, sharp clarity, often cooling rapidly as the shadows lengthen across the low-lying terrain, while the nearby Kirksey Reservoir provides a quiet, reflective stillness that contrasts with the constant, gentle movement of the river’s current.

Timber and regional agriculture have long dictated the pulse of life in Glenwood, fostering an economy tethered to the natural abundance of the surrounding woods and the fertile soil of Jones Valley. The history of the area remains etched in the steady, industrial rhythm of sawmills and the modest, enduring architecture that lines the local thoroughfares. Life moves with an unforced sincerity, dictated more by the turning of the seasons and the cycle of the harvest than by the frantic pace of distant metropolitan centers. On quiet evenings, the soft, melodious vernacular of the residents echoes against the backdrop of the distant hills, serving as a reminder that the character of Glenwood is shaped by the land’s own patient, slow-moving grace.

About This Glenwood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Glenwood, Arkansas. Coordinates: 34.328314, -93.527255. 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 Glenwood includes the ZIP code (71943), telephone area code (870), county seat of Pike County (Murfreesboro), and school district assignment (Centerpoint 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.
