Hunters looking at Union County hunting map typically want two things: where the public ground is, and who owns the private tracts next to it near Strong. Here's how to use the official Union County map for it, and where the map stops helping.
Below: finding owners on the Union County map, public ground in and near the county, asking permission the right way, and where Arkansas hunting rules are published.
How to use the Union County hunting map
Open the Union County ArcGIS parcel map, turn on aerial imagery, and pan the timber and field edges around Calion; click a tract to see the owner and acreage. Note which Union County tracts touch a road; landlocked ground near Old Union needs the owner's route in, not just permission.
Search Union County parcels by owner, address or ID
Union County publishes its parcels on the Union County ArcGIS parcel map, which runs on an Esri ArcGIS web map, free to use for a lot in Norphlet or a tract around Calion. Click any Union County parcel near Norphlet to open its record: owner, parcel ID and assessed acreage are typically listed. Our Union County, AR page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Calion in one place.
Public and private ground in Union County
Public ground in or near Union County, such as Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge, lists as large unbroken blocks, and private tracts along those edges are some of the most sought-after near Calion. Arkansas Game and Fish Commission publishes the season dates, license rules and public-land maps that apply around Calion.
Asking a Union County landowner for permission
Offer the owner near Old Union something useful: a copy of your license, proof of insurance if you lease, and a promise to report problems you see. Trespass rules vary by state, so check Arkansas law before assuming unposted land near Huttig is open.
Union County land records
For a tract around El Dorado, the recorded documents sit with the circuit clerk, who ordinarily serves as ex officio recorder; the parcel map is built from them for taxes. Arkansas ordinarily makes the circuit clerk the county recorder, so the Union County circuit clerk's office is the usual place for recorded deeds. A deed book and page or instrument number on the county record is the quickest route to order the document for a lot in El Dorado.
Getting oriented in Union County, AR
El Dorado is the county seat, and Calion, Strong, Huttig, and Junction City are among the other towns on the county map. Smaller places such as Lawson, Mount Holly, and Urbana appear on the Union County map as little clusters of lots. Union County had an estimated 37,397 people in 2023 (Census Bureau), spread across about 1,039 square miles. Beyond the town lots in Calion, expect big rural parcels across the county. Union County was organized in 1829, so deeds for older farms near Strong can run back a long way.

Lines near Calion are not marked on the ground, so load the county corners into a GPS before the hunt.
