People who grew up near Pisgah remember the Pike County plat book as the book that named every farm. Here's what a plat book is, where to look for one in Pike County, and the free official map that stays current between editions.
What's inside a county plat book
A plat book, sometimes called a land atlas, shows each township in Pike County as a page, with ownership blocks labeled by owner name and rough acreage. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Glenwood; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Finding the tract on the Pike County map
The county's own public map is the Pike County ArcGIS parcel map, built on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and it opens without an account for parcels in Nathan and the rest of the county. Use the search box for an address in Nathan or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a piece of ground near Delight. If the official address for the Pike County, AR map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for Nathan and the rest of the county.
Finding a printed Pike County plat book
Private publishers have printed plat books for many rural counties, but editions for Pike County come and go; inquire at the courthouse, the extension office or a farm supply store in Nathan. Collectors and genealogists prize old Pike County atlases because they display farm names and owners near Newhope long before online maps.
Reading a Pike County atlas page
A typical atlas page for a township near Nathan shows sections, roads and streams, with each ownership block labeled. Small parcels and town lots in Nathan are often too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. If you use a plat book for hunting permission near Nathan, recheck the landowner on the county map first.
Making your own atlas of Pike County
Names in an older Pike County atlas can lead you to the right deed in the grantor-grantee index for land near Newhope. Saving PDFs of the county map around Newhope gives you an offline reference when the signal drops.
The Pike County economy in brief
Pike County's 2022 business count was 219 establishments, with retail trade, health care and social assistance, and accommodation and food services the largest groups. Forestry and logging and wood product manufacturing make up an above-average share of Pike County businesses, a clue to how land around Antoine gets used.
The lay of the land around Murfreesboro
Town lots cluster around Murfreesboro, the county seat, and Delight, Glenwood, Antoine, and Daisy. Smaller places such as Kirby, Newhope, and Billstown appear on the county map as little clusters of lots. Census Bureau estimates put Pike County at about 10,208 residents in 2023 on roughly 600 square miles of land. Outside Nathan, most of the county map is farm, ranch or timber ground with large, irregular tracts. Pike County was organized in 1833, so deeds for older farms near Glenwood can run back a long way.
