Hunting for the latest Faulkner County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, and it's handy for land around Guy. What this county guide covers: what's in a plat book, where to find editions, and how the county viewer fills the gaps, at least around Guy.
The Faulkner County plat book: start here
If you're looking near Quitman, a plat book is a privately published atlas, that map ownership across the countryside, often organized by township.
Where the parcel data lives
Your first stop is the Faulkner County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each tax parcel around Guy and Mayflower. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along Interstate 40 and select the outline. For acreage around Mayflower, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; each records desk in the county will want it.
What the map can't tell you
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a fence near Greenbrier may sit a few yards off the line on screen. Owner names and values update on a schedule, so a recent sale near Conway might lag behind.
Where to look for one
Not every county has a current edition, so ask at the courthouse, extension office or a local library near Mayflower.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Guy, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Holland and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Getting answers from the right desk
Recorded documents for a parcel near Greenbrier come from the Circuit Clerk, often with an online index. Questions about what you can build around Conway need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.

Sections, lots and bearings
Arkansas uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Quitman cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Conway can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Conway before you request a deed or survey.
Where the recorded documents are
For a parcel near Holland, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the Circuit Clerk. Older tracts around Conway may trace back through several deeds, and a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Why people still buy them
Buyers and seed dealers around Guy rely on them to see ownership across many tracts at once.
Between editions
For current names, use the Faulkner County ArcGIS parcel map, for tracts near Holland.
Atlas or legal document
For a home near Greenbrier, don't confuse the atlas with a recorded subdivision plat: the recorded plat at the Circuit Clerk is a legal document, and the atlas is just a guide.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
The county borders Cleburne County, Conway County, Lonoke County, Perry County, and Pulaski County, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by Guy can show up across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. For a home near Mayflower, the Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map for Arkansas.
Getting your bearings
Conway holds the county offices, home to the main records offices. Smaller places on the map include Greenbrier, Guy, Holland, and Mayflower, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 129,951 people call Faulkner County home (Census estimate, 2023) on roughly 647 square miles. Faulkner County was formed in 1873, which matters when you trace an old farm's title.

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.
