Trying to understand lot lines near London? What you want is the Russellville plat map, as it records the lot layout that deeds refer to. In this Russellville guide: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
The Russellville plat map: start here
For a lot in Russellville, the deed usually cites the plat; use it to request a copy.
Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the Pope County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes each tax parcel in the county, Hector included. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, and that holds around Atkins too. For property near Pottsville, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
City limits and county records
Russellville is part of Pope County, Arkansas, and the county assessor maps its lots. As the county seat, Russellville hosts the courthouse, which puts the Circuit Clerk close by. Out toward London, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the city limits toward London often answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Getting your bearings
Russellville serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Pottsville, London, Dover, and Atkins. Roughly 64,593 people call Pope County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on about 811 square miles. Pope County was formed in 1829, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Features like Holla Bend National Wildlife Refuge help you orient on the aerial around Pottsville.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Atkins, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near London helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Plat map vs. parcel map
The Pope County ArcGIS parcel map draws parcels for taxes, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
When a plat changes
Lots near London can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Legal descriptions in Arkansas
Arkansas uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Atkins reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near London vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near Hector for any title or survey request.
Who handles what
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near London come from the Circuit Clerk, usually searchable by name or document number. Building or septic questions for a lot near Pottsville are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Land on the county line
Pope County borders Conway County, Johnson County, Logan County, Newton County, and Searcy County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Pottsville may be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map too. In and around Atkins, the Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map for Arkansas.
What a plat shows
For a parcel near Atkins, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Requesting the plat
In and around Atkins, some counties put plat images online, while others require a visit or a request; small fees are common.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed through the Circuit Clerk; the parcel map near Dover only summarizes it. For a parcel near Hector, have ready the book and page shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
When there's no plat
Acreage around Atkins outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; look for a recorded survey for land near Hector.
A word on accuracy
The acreage figure is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners on land around Dover. For property near Atkins, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.

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.
