How to Use This Russell, Arkansas Map

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

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.

Russell unfolds across a landscape of quiet, low-lying bottomlands where the steady, dark current of Glaise Creek defines the slow pulse of the local topography. It lies 15.0 miles east-northeast of Searcy, AR (from Searcy, AR: bearing 59°T), and is situated 5.0 miles northeast of Bald Knob. Beyond the immediate banks, the earth rises into the gentle, shadowed basin of Wolf Hollow, while the distant, hazy silhouette of Tucker Ridge anchors the western horizon under a sky that often holds the heavy, golden luminescence of a fading afternoon. Three miles to the north, the surface of Smith Lake Two catches the cooling air, reflecting the dense canopy of hardwoods that characterize this corner of the state. The atmosphere is thick with the scent of damp soil and emerging pine, a sensory weight that settles over the fields and defines the transition from the humid, sun-drenched day into the sudden, cooling velvet of twilight.

Russell maintains a character forged by the rhythms of agriculture and the patient, deliberate labor of its people, who have long looked toward the fertile expanse of Departee Creek for sustenance and seasonal order. The economic life of the locality remains tethered to the productivity of the surrounding acreage, where the cycle of planting and harvest dictates the cadence of the days far more effectively than any mechanical clock. There is a distinct, understated persistence in the way the local life moves, a reflection of a history built upon the steady cultivation of the land and the quiet utilization of its natural resources. In the silence that gathers between the rustle of leaves and the distant shift of wind, one senses a place that finds its own internal balance, indifferent to the urgent pace of the wider world beyond the ridge.

About This Russell Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Russell, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.362584, -91.507632. 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 Russell includes the ZIP code (72139), telephone area code (501), county seat of White County (Searcy), and school district assignment (Bald Knob 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.
