Step one: the free Crawford County viewer
The county's own public map is the Crawford County ArcGIS parcel map, built on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and it opens without an account for parcels in Mulberry and the rest of the county. Use the search box for an address in Mulberry or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a parcel near Alma. If the official address for the Crawford County, AR map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for Mulberry and the rest of the county.
Why the map and the ground disagree
Parcel outlines near Van Buren are drawn to fit tax maps and aerial photos, so a line near Alma that crosses a house or misses a fence is not unusual. When money or a court is involved near Alma, rely on recorded documents and a licensed survey rather than the county layer.
Reading the legal description
Rural Crawford County deeds follow the Public Land Survey System: acreage near Alma is commonly described by section, township and range, where a full section is about 640 acres. In subdivisions in Van Buren, the description is usually a lot and block on a recorded plat, which a surveyor will want to see.
Walking a line in Crawford County
Walking a parcel near Cedarville is easier with flagging tape, a compass and the corners marked on a GPS from the county map. Take photos of any pins or markers you locate near Cedarville and note where they sit relative to the county parcel outline.
Common boundary questions
Garages, sheds and pools near Dora commonly have setback minimums, and the measurement is from the surveyed line, not the Crawford County GIS line. Long-standing fences near Dora can raise legal questions under Arkansas law, which is a conversation for a real estate attorney.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
