Where the Walnut Ridge GIS map lives

Where the parcel data lives
Your first stop is the Lawrence County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers each assessed parcel in the county, Portia included. For land near Black Rock, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. In and around Black Rock, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Sedgwick are filed with the Circuit Clerk. Inherited tracts near Portia can sit on many deeds, and a title company is worth hiring if money is changing hands.
Keeping a record
Print or screenshot the parcel near Hoxie with its ID visible, so you have it when calling an office.
How land is described here
Arkansas uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Minturn is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Powhatan odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Minturn for any title or survey request.
