How to Use This Gum Springs, Arkansas Map

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

Gum Springs rises from the earth as a modest collection of dwellings and timbered land, defined by the slow, deliberate transition from flat bottomland to the rising terrain of the interior. It lies 20.3 miles south of Harrison, AR (from Harrison, AR: bearing 189°T), and is situated 33.7 miles east-southeast of Huntsville. The landscape here is marked by the quiet presence of Brasel Creek, which carves a narrow, winding path through the soil, offering a constant, low-frequency murmur to the surrounding woods. To the northwest, the silhouette of Grapevine Ridge provides a jagged, distant boundary against the horizon, while the terrain closer to the center dips into the shaded, humid depths of Jim Rush Hollow. The air holds a persistent, heavy moisture that clings to the oak and pine, and at dusk, the light filters through the canopy in long, amber needles, illuminating the dust motes that hang suspended in the still, cooling atmosphere of the Arkansas landscape.

Gum Springs carries a history deeply rooted in the agricultural labor and resourcefulness of those who first cleared these thickets to establish a foothold in the challenging clay. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the land and the quiet industry of the region, where the proximity to the Henry Koen Experimental Forest continues to influence the way the community interacts with its timbered surroundings. Residents often find respite in the simple, managed green space of Wayside Park, a quiet anchor for those who prefer the shade of the trees to the exertion of the Alum Cove National Recreation Trail further afield. Daily life here possesses a certain gravity, a sense that the inhabitants are participating in a long, unbroken sequence of seasons defined by the growth of the forest and the slow, seasonal pulse of the earth rather than the frantic pace of the wider world.
