Curious who owns the lot next to you around Huttig? The El Dorado GIS map answers most of that, and it's free to use. In this El Dorado guide: where that map lives, the fastest ways to search, and what to double-check with records.
Opening the El Dorado GIS map: start here
For acreage around Strong, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Union County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every assessed parcel from Calion to Strong. For acreage around Huttig, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a tract near Strong, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Browser tips
When the map won't open around Norphlet, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
A quick look at the area
El Dorado is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Norphlet, Calion, Smackover, and Junction City, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 37,397 people call Union County home (Census estimate, 2023) across about 1,039 square miles. Union County was organized in 1829, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Landmarks such as Ouachita River and Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge are easy to spot when you zoom out from Norphlet.
City limits and county records
El Dorado is part of Union County, Arkansas, so its parcels are on the county's map. The town is also the county seat, which puts the Circuit Clerk close by around Smackover. Near Huttig, City or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the town limits toward Smackover generally falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
Saving what you find
Print or screenshot the parcel near Huttig with its ID visible, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Huttig sit with the Circuit Clerk. For acreage around Smackover, have ready the instrument number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Next door to Union County
Union County touches Ashley County, Bradley County, Calhoun County, Columbia County, and Ouachita County, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by Smackover can show up in two county records, so open the neighboring map too.

Search tips
Addresses are the easiest route inside El Dorado; owner names are usually entered last name first. For a parcel near Huttig, searching by parcel number never misses, and it carries over to every office in the county.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Smackover, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Smackover and its lines keeps working without signal.
What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary for a parcel near Smackover. For a parcel near Calion, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
What the layers show
For acreage around Strong, look in the layer list for municipal boundaries, floodplain and sometimes zoning; not every viewer has them all.
What the record panel tells you
Sales history, if listed, helps with pricing in El Dorado are a useful starting point; they're not an appraisal.
Who handles what

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.
