How to Use This Reed, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Reed sprawls across the flat, fertile expanse of the Delta, where the horizon stretches thin and wide under a canopy of heavy, humid air. It lies 48.5 miles southeast of Pine Bluff, AR (from Pine Bluff, AR: bearing 138°T), and is situated 5.6 miles north-northwest of McGehee. The Crooked Bayou carves a sluggish, reflective path through the landscape, its dark waters mirroring the tangled thickets of hardwood that define the low-lying terrain. Only the faint, violet haze of Egypt Ridge haunts the distant skyline, a reminder of the rising earth far beyond these quiet, alluvial plains. Moisture clings to the tall grasses near Austin Brake, where the evening light softens into a bruised plum color, turning the surface of the water into a sheet of hammered copper that holds the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped away.

Agriculture serves as the pulse of Reed, with expansive fields of cotton and grain dictating the slow, deliberate tempo of the seasons. The settlement grew from the stubborn necessity of the soil, remaining a place where the architecture of necessity—unadorned sheds and weathered silos—tells a story of endurance against the cyclical flooding of the silt-heavy land. Local life often drifts toward the quietude of Stephens Park, a space that preserves the quiet dignity of the surrounding woodland. Here, the labor of the harvest remains the primary language of the economy, and the daily movement of trucks along the narrow roads keeps the memory of the land’s original, untamed character alive beneath the modern layers of blacktop and wire.

About This Reed Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Reed, Arkansas. Coordinates: 33.701672, -91.445758. 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 Reed includes the ZIP code (71852, 71670), telephone area code (870), county seat of Desha County (Arkansas City), and school district assignment (McGehee 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.
