This page covers the Perry County GIS map: the official link, what each part of the parcel record tells you, and which Arkansas land records to pull when the map isn't enough.
This guide walks through the official link, the kinds of land you'll find around Fourche, and what to do when the map and the ground don't agree.
Getting into the Perry County ArcGIS parcel map
The official map is the Perry County ArcGIS parcel map, which runs on an Esri ArcGIS web map. The quickest search in Perry County is usually the parcel number from a tax bill; owner and address searches work too.

Who needs this map
A lot of different people around Fourche rely on this map. Turkey hunters near Bigelow use the map in spring to confirm which fields their permission actually covers. Homesteaders eyeing the country near Hollis use acreage and frontage on the record to narrow a long list to a few tracts worth visiting. Before an offer, buyers in Perry County pull the parcel to confirm the lot dimensions and look for anything odd, like a flag lot or a shared drive. An owner in Fourche planning a fence or an outbuilding pulls the parcel first, then the recorded plat.
Getting oriented in Perry County
Adona, Bigelow, Casa, and Fourche fill out the town list, and Perryville is where the county seat sits. Smaller places such as Aplin, Ava, and Cherry Hill show up as clusters of lots along the roads. Founded in 1840 and named for Oliver Hazard Perry, the county has land records that reach back a long way, which helps when you trace a title. About 10,184 people lived in Perry County in 2023, according to Census Bureau estimates, on roughly 551 square miles. Most of the land area is agricultural or wooded, and the parcel lines get bigger and more irregular as you move away from Adona. Public land in or near the county, including Ouachita National Forest, changes how nearby private land sells.
The Perry County economy in brief
Census business counts for 2022 list 110 establishments in Perry County; retail trade tops the list, with construction and other services close behind. For a land buyer in Perry County, that mix hints at who your neighbors and competing bidders are likely to be.
How accurate are Perry County, AR property lines?
Zoom in far enough on a lot in Adona and you may notice lines crossing driveways or splitting sheds, a normal quirk of tax mapping. Legal descriptions in Arkansas usually lean on the section grid, so learning to read 'NE 1/4 of Section 12' pays off quickly around Adona. If a neighbor's fence near Bigelow and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
Hunters: whose land is it?
Most hunting ground in Perry County is privately owned, and the parcel map is how you find out whose it is. Around Ouachita National Forest, private tracts can press right up against the public boundary, so check the lines before you walk in. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission handles licenses, seasons and public-land maps for Perry County. Landowners in Perry County hear from a lot of hunters; a specific request that names the parcel stands out.
Using the Perry County GIS map to find vacant land
A practical way to find vacant parcels near Bigelow:
- Follow the roads out of Casa with aerials on and mark every tract without a rooftop.
- For each tract near Casa, note the parcel ID, the owner and where the tax bill is mailed.
- Make sure the parcel near Bigelow actually touches a public road, and ask how it's reached if it doesn't.
- Assessed values lag the market, but comparing tracts near Hollis still shows which ones the county rates higher.
- Check the flood layer and ask about septic and permits; open land in Perry County isn't automatically buildable.
