Open tracts on the Prairie County ArcGIS parcel map usually carry little or no building value, useful when you scan the area near Hazen.
The free map to start with
Go first to the Prairie County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every assessed parcel in the county, Beulah included. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along US Route 165 and click the parcel itself, and that holds around DeValls Bluff too. For a home near Des Arc, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
A site visit checklist
Walk the land near Fredonia and look for markers, fences and trails, noting road condition, neighbors and noise; the map won't tell you that.
Reading the legal description
Arkansas uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Hazen cite section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Barrettsville odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Barrettsville for any title or survey request.
The paper trail behind a parcel
If the land is near Hazen, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the Circuit Clerk. Inherited tracts around Buck's Landing can trace back through many deeds, and a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
Is the tract reachable?
Confirm the parcel touches a public road or has a recorded easement, as lenders near Des Arc may balk at no access.

Offices that can help
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Buck's Landing looks off go to the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Beulah are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
