Hunters looking at Clark County hunting map most often want two things: where the public ground is, and who owns the private tracts next to it near Gum Springs. Here's how to use the official Clark County map for it, and where the map stops helping.
This guide goes from the Clark County parcel map to a polite permission request for ground near Whelen Springs, with notes on public land and regulations.
How to use the Clark County hunting map
On the Clark County ArcGIS parcel map, scan the wooded draws and creek bottoms near Gurdon and click each tract you like; the record lists the titleholder of record and mailing address. Note which Clark County tracts touch a road; landlocked ground near Beirne needs the owner's route in, not just permission.
Step one: the free Clark County viewer
The county's own public map is the Clark County ArcGIS parcel map, built on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and it opens without an account for parcels in Gum Springs and the rest of the county. Most people track down their Clark County tract fastest by searching an address in Caddo Valley, then clicking the outline. Our Clark County, AR page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Caddo Valley in one place.
Public land, private land and the rules in Arkansas
With little large public land listed for Clark County, hunters near Gurdon depend on private permission and leases. Regulations change every year, so confirm Clark County seasons and public access with Arkansas Game and Fish Commission before you go.
Asking a Clark County landowner for permission
A letter or a daytime visit to an owner near Gum Springs beats a cold call; name the county tract, the game and the dates. Get permission in writing if you can, and carry it while hunting the Clark County tract.

Cover, water and owners in Clark County
