Arkansas GLO Map – original plats from the General Land
Office are geo-referenced and then the field notes are linked to each
plat. A one stop shop for Arkansas
surveyors or others interested in land plat placement.
Editor’s Note: As of
today, each of the above links worked.
Now, whether the links in any of the identified articles work, I cannot
vouch for that. And, armed with the
information provided, it should be relatively easy to get to determine where
the discussed database currently resides.
If you get really stuck, drop me an email and I’ll try to ferret out the
recalcitrant link or cross out my entry in the above list!
Editor’s Note: Know
