Hunting for the latest Miller County plat book? These atlases map who owns rural land, page by page, and it's handy for land around Red River of the South. This Miller County guide covers: how the atlas is organized, where to find editions, and how the county viewer fills the gaps.
The Miller County plat book: start here
For a parcel near Boggy, plat books are commercial atlases, that map ownership across the countryside, usually township by township.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Miller County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each assessed parcel from Beck to Genoa. For a parcel near Genoa, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. If the land is near Artex, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
For anything that matters, pull the recorded deed through the Circuit Clerk; the parcel line is a drawing of it, which applies near Red River of the South as much as anywhere. In and around Genoa, use the instrument number listed on the parcel record and the lookup takes minutes.
How land is described here
Arkansas uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Boggy cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Black Diamond vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Red River of the South before you request a deed or survey.
Limits of the parcel data
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real lines for a parcel near Beck. Records update in batches, so a fresh transfer around Red River of the South might lag behind.
Buying or borrowing a copy
Editions come and go depending on publishers, so ask at the courthouse, extension office or a local library near Boggy.
Common uses
Buyers and seed dealers around Red River of the South rely on them to see ownership across many tracts at once.
Neighboring parcel maps
The county borders Hempstead County, Lafayette County, Little River County, Bossier Parish, LA, and Caddo Parish, LA; every one of them runs a separate parcel map around Artex. A tract near the line by Fouke can show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map as well.

Plat book vs. recorded plat
For a tract near Red River of the South, don't confuse the atlas with a recorded subdivision plat: the recorded plat at the Circuit Clerk is a legal document, and the atlas is just a guide.
