From the lots in Pyatt to the back roads near Oakland, the Marion County GIS map shows who owns what and roughly where the lines fall.
The sections below cover the map itself, the towns from Pyatt to Oakland, and the deeds and surveys that settle what the map can't.
Opening the Marion County GIS map
The official map is the Marion County ArcGIS parcel map, which runs on an Esri ArcGIS web map. Search an address in Flippin, or pan out toward Oakland and click a rural tract; either way the record pops up with owner and acreage. We keep the link current on our Marion County (AR) directory page, next to the neighboring maps.
How accurate are Marion County, AR property lines?
Zoom in far enough on a lot in Pyatt and you may notice lines crossing driveways or splitting sheds, a normal quirk of tax mapping. Out past Yellville, rural deeds usually cite a section, township and range, and those section lines often show on the parcel layer. For rural ground near Oakland, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
Getting oriented in Marion County
The county seat is Yellville; Bull Shoals, Flippin, Summit, and Pyatt are among the other communities you can zoom to. The county dates to 1836, named for Francis Marion, and older deeds may still refer to landmarks from that era. By Census Bureau figures, the county had roughly 17,514 residents in 2023, spread over about 597 square miles of land. Town lots in Pyatt give way to farm tracts and woodlots within a mile or two, and the roads toward Flippin are lined with small acreage splits. Along the Buffalo National River, expect long, irregular tracts whose lines follow the water rather than a road. Public ground such as Ozark National Forest appears as large unbroken blocks, and the private parcels around it draw hunters and recreation buyers.
Hunting land and landowner permission in Marion County
Near Bull Shoals, a single field edge can separate two owners with very different answers about access; the map tells you which is which. If you're hunting public ground like Ozark National Forest, use the parcel map to see where the public boundary meets private land. Check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for public hunting areas and current regulations before you hunt near Summit. A landowner near Oakland is more likely to say yes to a hunter who names the exact parcel and offers a phone number.
Where Marion County deeds and plats are kept
For land near Summit, the circuit clerk, who ordinarily serves as ex officio recorder holds the recorded documents, and the parcel map reflects them once they're processed for taxes. Arkansas ordinarily makes the circuit clerk the county recorder, so the Marion County circuit clerk's office is the usual place for recorded deeds. Easements and rights-of-way are usually in recorded documents, not on the parcel map, so read the deed itself for a tract near Oakland.
Who needs this map
Here's who tends to use it in Marion County.
- Hunters in Marion County use the owner names to line up permission well before the season.
- If you're after rural acreage near Flippin, the map shows which tracts are big enough and which ones border paved roads or water.
- Heirs sorting out family land near Yellville use the record to confirm acreage and the legal description.
- Buyers new to Pyatt often pull the neighbors' parcels too, to see how big the surrounding lots are and who owns them.
Two things the map won't tell you
A lot in Bull Shoals that sold last month may still show the previous owner on the map. Acreage on the Marion County map is a tax figure; a survey is what a lender or buyer should rely on.
The Marion County economy in brief
