How to Use This Wilburn, Arkansas Map

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

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.

About Wilburn, Arkansas

Wilburn is a locality in Cleburne County, Arkansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 132. The population density is 51.2 people per km². Wilburn is located at 35.5073°N, 91.8882°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 72179, 72543.

Wilburn emerges from the quiet, verdant folds of the landscape where the steady current of Liberty Creek cuts a path through the dense, tangled undergrowth of the surrounding timberland. It lies 19.7 miles north-northwest of Searcy, AR (from Searcy, AR: bearing 334°T), and is situated 8.1 miles east of Heber Springs. Churchill Ridge rises in the distance, a slate-colored silhouette against the pale, expansive sky that dominates the view from the higher elevations. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness, particularly in the deep shade of the Cow Shoals Riverfront Forest Natural Area, where the light filters through the canopy in thin, dusty shafts. To the west, the land dips into the shadowed basin of Wildcat Hollow, creating a topography of sharp contrast where the ground feels soft and damp underfoot.

Wilburn maintains a modest, deliberate pace defined by the seasonal cycles of the rural economy and the quiet persistence of those who work the land. While the nearby presence of Magness Lake offers a reflective stillness to the local terrain, the character of the settlement remains tethered to the slow, agricultural rhythms that have long anchored families to these red-clay fields. Life here is measured by the changing colors of the hardwoods and the occasional journey to see the water spilling over the ledges at Bridal Veil Falls. In the quiet hours of the afternoon, the hum of distant machinery provides a rhythmic backdrop to a place that prioritizes the endurance of its traditions over the frantic shifts of the modern world.

About This Wilburn Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wilburn, Arkansas. Coordinates: 35.507301, -91.888201. 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 Wilburn includes the ZIP code (72179, 72543), telephone area code (501), county seat of Cleburne County (Heber Springs), and school district assignment (Concord Public Schools).

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.
