Tracking down a Lee County plat book
Out toward Midway, Arkansas, plat books are commercial atlases, with owner names on each tract, often organized by township.
The free map to start with

Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Midway, Arkansas, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Monroe with its ID keeps working without signal.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
