Parcel lines, owner names and acreage for every tract from Beebe to Kensett are a few clicks away on the White County plat map, and it costs nothing to use.
This guide walks through the official link, the kinds of land you'll find around Kensett, and what to do when the map and the ground don't agree.
What the map covers, from Searcy to the back roads
Most of the platted lots cluster in and around Searcy (the county seat) and Bald Knob, Beebe, Bradford, and Judsonia. Unincorporated spots like El Paso, Floyd, and Albion are worth a look if you want rural acreage near a crossroads community. By Census Bureau figures, the county had roughly 78,452 residents in 2023, spread over about 1,034 square miles of land. That density means a real mix on the map: platted neighborhoods near Beebe, and larger tracts on the rural roads. Public ground such as Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge appears as large unbroken blocks, and the private parcels around it draw hunters and recreation buyers.
The White County economy in brief
Census business counts for 2022 list 1,620 establishments in White County; retail trade tops the list, with health care and social assistance and other services close behind. The local economy leans harder than average on pipeline transportation, primary metal manufacturing, and mining (except oil and gas). In White County, minerals are often severed from the surface, so the owner on the parcel map may not own what's underneath. Keep that in mind when you compare parcels in White County: who works here shapes what land sells.
Getting into the White County ArcGIS parcel map
Open the White County ArcGIS parcel map (built on an Esri ArcGIS web map); it is the county's own published map. Rural tracts in White County often have no street address, so try an owner search or simply pan to the area and click. Bookmark the Platbookmapper page for White County too; we update it when the official map moves.
Vacant land and acreage on the White County plat map
A practical way to find vacant parcels near McRae:
- Follow the roads out of Searcy with aerials on and mark every tract without a rooftop.
- For each tract near Searcy, note the parcel ID, the owner and where the tax bill is mailed.
- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Judsonia to sanity-check an asking price.
- Measure the road frontage on the map; a sliver of frontage on a road outside Searcy may not be enough for a driveway permit.
- Last, call the White County planning or health office about permits, septic and floodplain before you commit.

How accurate are White County, AR property lines?
Parcel boundaries on the White County viewer are drawn to keep tax accounts straight, so small offsets from the true line are expected. Arkansas uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural deeds in White County often describe land by section, township and range, and you can match the call to the grid on the map. For a fence, an addition or a dispute in White County, budget for a licensed survey; it's the answer a court or a lender will accept.
Behind the map: land records in White County
For land near Searcy, the circuit clerk, who ordinarily serves as ex officio recorder holds the recorded documents, and the parcel map reflects them once they're processed for taxes. In White County, as in most Arkansas counties, the circuit clerk serves as ex officio recorder, so that is where deeds and mortgages are filed. Copy the parcel ID and legal description before you call or visit; recording staff can find a White County document much faster with them.
Near the county line
