The viewer Clark County publishes
Go first to the Clark County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every assessed parcel around Whelen Springs and Gurdon. Without an address in hand, pan along Interstate 30 until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. If you're looking near Gum Springs, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
