Explore Russellville, Arkansas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Russellville, 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 Russellville.
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.

Russellville draws its quiet strength from the surrounding landscape where the flow of Prairie Creek marks the pulse of the earth. It lies 41.2 miles west-northwest of Conway, AR (from Conway, AR: bearing 289°T), and is situated 4.1 miles north-northeast of Dardanelle. The terrain here unfolds in a sequence of verdant expanses and quiet woodlands, stretching toward the horizon where the distant silhouette of Mc Cray Ridge defines the sky. To the north, the vast expanse of Ozark National Forest offers a deep, tangled canopy of pine and hardwood that anchors the spirit of the land. Just two miles from the center, the waters of Lake Dardanelle gather in a still, reflective basin, softening the light at the end of a long day. The nearby terrain of Hickerson Hollow dips into the earth, creating pockets of shade where the morning fog lingers long after the sun has climbed.
Russellville emerged from the intersection of agricultural necessity and the relentless expansion of the rail lines that once brought iron and ambition to these plains. The local economy has long balanced the steady output of the land with industrial ventures that sustain the growth of the region. Workers here maintain a quiet diligence, moving between the fields and the facilities that drive the modern productivity of the area. The heritage of the soil remains visible in the orderly layout of the streets and the enduring brick facades of the older quarters. Through seasons of drought and harvest, the people have built a life defined by consistent labor and a pragmatic approach to the changing tides of commerce. Prosperity in Russellville is measured not in sudden rushes, but in the slow, persistent accumulation of community stability.
Russellville carries the character of a place that understands the weight of its own quietude, where the passage of time is marked by the changing colors of dogwood and redbud blossoms. The presence of Arkansas Tech University acts as a focal point for the intellectual and social life of the residents, bringing a youthful energy to the steady pace of the streets. Local gatherings often center on the collegiate spirit or the shared observation of seasonal transitions that define life in the interior. Notable individuals who have walked these paths include the musician Levon Helm, whose roots in the region reflect the deep, resonant connection to the land that many here feel. The atmosphere at dusk, when the heat of the day dissipates into a cooling breeze, reveals a town that is comfortable in its own skin and grounded in its place.

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.
