Want a copy of the Little River County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, useful for farms near Richmond. Covered here for this county: how the atlas is organized, where to look for printed copies, and the free online map that stays current around Ogden.
Getting started with the Little River County plat book
On ground around Foreman, plat books are commercial atlases, that map ownership across the countryside, page by page across the county.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Lots and tracts near Winthrop can be looked up on the Little River County ArcGIS parcel map, a viewer that needs no account. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow Interstate 49 on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. For a parcel near Yarborough Landing, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county will want it.
Why people still buy them
Buyers and seed dealers around Richmond rely on them for a big-picture view of who owns what.
Backing up the map with records
For acreage around Wilton, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the Circuit Clerk. For a home near Wilton, have ready the document number from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
A quick look at the area
Ashdown serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Foreman, Winthrop, Ogden, and Wilton, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 11,805 people live in this county (Census estimate, 2023) on some 531 square miles for land near Rocky Comfort. Little River County dates to 1867, which matters when you trace an old farm's title.
Buying or borrowing a copy
Editions come and go depending on publishers, try the county extension office, recorder's office or library near Rocky Comfort.
Sections, lots and bearings
Arkansas is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Rocky Comfort reference sections and townships. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Yarborough Landing can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Winthrop for any title or survey request.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Wilton, though signal can drop in rural spots. A printout of the tract near Ogden helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Alleene belong with the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Yarborough Landing are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Making your own township pages

The free online alternative

Limits of the parcel data
If the land is near Alleene, the acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real corners on the ground. For property near Yarborough Landing, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Plat book vs. recorded plat
If you're looking near Wilton, a plat book is not a recorded plat: the recorded plat at the Circuit Clerk is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Neighboring parcel maps
Little River County touches Hempstead County, Howard County, Miller County, Sevier County, and McCurtain County, OK, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Comet can be split across two assessors' files, so look at the neighboring map as well.
