Want a copy of the Perry County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, useful for farms near Hollis. In this Perry County guide: how the atlas is organized, where to find editions, and how the county viewer fills the gaps.
Tracking down a Perry County plat book
For land near Bigelow, plat books are commercial atlases, with owner names on each tract, often organized by township.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Perry County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes each assessed parcel from Casa to Fourche Junction. When a rural tract has no street number, zoom in from Ava and select the outline. For a parcel near Perryville, save the parcel ID from that panel; each clerk in the county uses it to find the file.
A quick look at the area
Perryville is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Adona, Bigelow, Casa, and Fourche, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 10,184 people live in Perry County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 551 square miles. Perry County was organized in 1840, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Landmarks such as Ouachita National Forest are easy to spot when you zoom out.
Where the recorded documents are
If you're looking near Cherry Hill, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the Circuit Clerk. For acreage around Perryville, use the book and page shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Adona, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Houston is a good backup.
Neighboring parcel maps
The county borders Conway County, Faulkner County, Garland County, Pulaski County, and Saline County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map around Cherry Hill. Ground near Hollis that runs to the line may show up in two county records, so check the adjacent map too. Closer to Hollis, our state page lists each bordering county map across Arkansas.
A word on accuracy
With a lot near Hollis, listed acreage is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on the ground. For acreage around Ava, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Editions and availability
Older editions near Fourche turn up in libraries and historical societies, useful for family or title research.
Printing your own
Screenshot each section of the viewer around Fourche and keep them in a binder for the truck.
Who uses plat books
Farmers, hunters and appraisers near Bigelow use plat books to see ownership across many tracts at once.
Legal descriptions in Arkansas
Arkansas follows the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Houston is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Fourche vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Perryville for any title or survey request.
The free online alternative
You can search by owner name or click a tract near Fourche Junction, and save it for your own township pages.
Getting answers from the right desk
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Ava looks off go to the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Hollis need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Two kinds of plat
For a tract near Casa, 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.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
