Planning a hunt near Fulton? A useful Hempstead County hunting map combines two sources: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. What this Hempstead County guide covers: state sources for public ground, how to read private parcel lines, and getting landowner permission the right way.
The Hempstead County hunting map: start here
For a tract near Oakhaven, public hunting areas are mapped by Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, with rules that vary by area.
The free map to start with
Begin with the Hempstead County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes each tax parcel around DeAnn and Hope. For a home near Washington, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For a tract near DeAnn, copy the parcel ID before closing the panel; each office in the county will want it.
Getting answers from the right desk
Recorded documents for a parcel near Blevins come from the Circuit Clerk, usually searchable by name or document number. Building or septic questions for a lot near Fulton need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
A quick look at the area
Hope holds the county offices, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Blevins, Washington, Fulton, and McCaskill, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 19,343 people call Hempstead County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 727 square miles. Hempstead County dates to 1818, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Reading terrain
On the aerial around Fulton, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; match each spot to its parcel.
Being a good guest
Respect livestock and crops around Blevins, and tell someone where you'll be; owners remember good guests.
Sections, lots and bearings
Arkansas uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near McCaskill cite section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near McNab can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Oakhaven before you request a deed or survey.
Neighboring parcel maps
Hempstead County borders Howard County, Lafayette County, Little River County, Miller County, and Nevada County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground near Saratoga that runs to the line can show up across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map too. For property near Hope, our state page links every neighboring county map for Arkansas.
Backing up the map with records
Near Clow, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the Circuit Clerk. If the land is near Clow, use the book and page listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Who owns the ground
The lines are tax drawings, so don't treat them as survey-grade near McNab; paint or posted signs on the ground matter too.
Finding a landowner
For property near Blevins, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Blevins, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near McNab helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Rules and responsibility
Check Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for seasons and licensing, and trespass rules differ by state before hunting near Hope.
Before you lean on the lines
For property near Blevins, the acreage figure is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real boundary on the ground. For a parcel near Blevins, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.

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.
