Trying to understand lot lines near Maumelle? What you want is the Jacksonville plat map, since it shows lots, streets and easements as approved. In this Jacksonville guide: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
The Jacksonville plat map: start here
For a lot in Jacksonville, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; that makes the request quick.
Where the parcel data lives
Property in and around Wrightsville appear on the Pulaski County parcel viewer, which opens without registering. If you're looking near Maumelle, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. In and around North Little Rock, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every clerk in the county uses it to find the file.
Limits of the parcel data
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary on land around Cammack Village. For property near North Little Rock, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Legal descriptions in Arkansas
Arkansas uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Sherwood reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Maumelle vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Sherwood before you request a deed or survey.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Maumelle belong with the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near North Little Rock are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
A quick look at the area
Little Rock is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Sherwood, North Little Rock, Cammack Village, and Maumelle, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 400,009 people call Pulaski County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on about 758 square miles. Pulaski County dates to 1818, which matters when you trace an old farm's title.
City limits and county records
Jacksonville is part of Pulaski County, Arkansas, and the county assessor maps its lots. Closer to Maumelle, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits toward Little Rock often falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Backing up the map with records
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed through the Circuit Clerk; the parcel map near Little Rock only summarizes it. Long-held tracts around North Little Rock may trace back through several deeds, so a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
The tax map on the Pulaski County parcel viewer is a summary, but the recorded plat is what the deed relies on.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Cammack Village, so check for later filings; street vacations near Maumelle show up in the records too.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Little Rock, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Sherwood with its ID keeps working without signal.
Land on the county line
Pulaski County borders Faulkner County, Grant County, Jefferson County, Lonoke County, and Perry County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Cammack Village can show up across two assessors' files, so check the adjacent map too. Closer to Wrightsville, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map across Arkansas.
Metes and bounds instead
Acreage around Little Rock outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; look for a recorded survey for land near Cammack Village.
Lots, blocks and easements
If you're looking near Cammack Village, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Online indexes and office visits
For property near North Little Rock, many recorder offices offer an online index, otherwise call or visit with the reference; small fees are common.

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.
