Planning a hunt near Alicia? The Lawrence County hunting map is really two maps: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. What this Lawrence County guide covers: state sources for public ground, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and how to ask for permission.
Building your Lawrence County hunting map
On ground around Black Rock, start with Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for public areas, along with seasons and regulations.
The free map to start with
Lots and tracts near Imboden are published on the Lawrence County ArcGIS parcel map, a viewer that needs no account. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow US Route 67 on the aerial and click the parcel itself, for land near Alicia included. For a home near Hoxie, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county asks for it first.
A quick look at the area
Walnut Ridge is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Black Rock, Hoxie, Alicia, and Imboden, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 16,318 people call Lawrence County home (Census estimate, 2023) across some 588 square miles. The county was formed in 1815, and some chains of title near Alicia are long.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Walnut Ridge are filed with the Circuit Clerk. For property near Black Rock, bring the instrument number shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
Safety and courtesy
Respect livestock and crops around Jesup, and carry the owner's contact info; it keeps permission coming back.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Walnut Ridge, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Imboden with its ID is a good backup.
Private land and parcel lines
For private ground, the Lawrence County ArcGIS parcel map is the free source, with owner names for tracts near Alicia.
Neighboring parcel maps
Lawrence County borders Craighead County, Greene County, Independence County, Jackson County, and Randolph County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground near Walnut Ridge that runs to the line may be split in two county records, so open the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. In and around Alicia, the Platbookmapper state page links every bordering county map across Arkansas.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Hoxie belong with the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near Hoxie go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Legal descriptions in Arkansas
Arkansas uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Jesup cite section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Imboden odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Jesup when you talk to a surveyor.
Finding a landowner
With a lot near Hoxie, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Before you lean on the lines
For acreage around Walnut Ridge, acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on the ground. For a parcel near Jesup, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Aerial scouting
Switch to aerial imagery near Lynn, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; then confirm whose land each feature is on.
Before you go
Check Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for seasons and licensing, and know your state's trespass rules before hunting near Imboden.
