When land near Egypt catches your eye, the Jonesboro GIS map lays out the outline, the owner of record and a parcel ID. This Jonesboro guide covers: where that map lives, how to search it, and the limits worth knowing.
Opening the Jonesboro GIS map: start here
Parcel maps here are usually run by the county, not the town, which makes the Craighead County parcel viewer the main source for lots in Jonesboro.
Pulling up a parcel
Parcels around Cash are published on the Craighead County parcel viewer, which opens without registering. For acreage around Egypt, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. With a lot near Egypt, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county asks for it first.
Browser tips
If the viewer stalls on a phone near Bono, try a desktop browser or clear the cache; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
The paper trail behind a parcel
When the details count, get the recorded deed from the Circuit Clerk; the viewer just points to it. Long-held tracts around Brookland may sit on a long string of deeds, so a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
A word on accuracy
The acreage figure is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor sets the real lines for a parcel near Egypt. For a home near Bono, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Next door to Craighead County
Craighead County borders Greene County, Jackson County, Lawrence County, Mississippi County, and Poinsett County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Lake City can show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. In and around Egypt, our state page lists each bordering county map across Arkansas.
Where Jonesboro fits in
Jonesboro lies within Craighead County, Arkansas, so its parcels are on the county's map. Jonesboro is also the county seat, which puts the Circuit Clerk close by. With a lot near Cash, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits out by Cash usually falls under county rules instead.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Bay, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Egypt and its lines is a good backup.
Printing and saving
Print or screenshot the parcel near Cash with its ID visible, so you have it when calling an office.
Three ways to find a parcel
Acreage around Brookland might not have a street number, so zoom in from Interstate 57 and click the outline. If the land is near Lake City, searching by parcel number never misses, and you'll find it on tax statements.

Who handles what
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Bay come from the Circuit Clerk, often with an online index. Building or septic questions for a lot near Bay need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Legal descriptions in Arkansas
Arkansas uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Lake City 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 Cash vary in size. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Bay before you request a deed or survey.
Inside the parcel card
Recent sales on nearby lots near Egypt give a rough idea of values; an appraiser is the real authority.
Getting your bearings

Around 113,993 people call Craighead County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 707 square miles. Craighead County was formed in 1859, and some chains of title near Bay are long.

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.
