Wondering about White County property lines before you build near Beebe? A quick check of White County property lines on the official viewer gives a good first answer, as long as you know how far to trust the White County, AR lines.
This page covers the White County viewer and its aerial layer, what accuracy to expect, how Arkansas legal descriptions work, and how to track down pins and surveys near Beebe.
How to use the White County property lines
On the White County ArcGIS parcel map, search an address in Bradford or click a tract, and the parcel outline appears over current imagery. A quick measurement along the road near McRae is fine for a first look, not for setting posts.
Opening the White County parcel viewer
For land around Beebe, open the White County ArcGIS parcel map (an Esri ArcGIS web map); it's the map White County itself publishes. Use the search box for an address in Bradford or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a tract close to Beebe. If the official address for the White County, AR map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for Bradford and the rest of the county.
Why the map and the ground disagree
GIS lines in White County are built for assessment, not construction, so a line near McRae that crosses a house or misses a fence is not unusual. When money or a court is involved near McRae, a professional surveyor's stakes are what count.
Reading the legal description
Rural White County deeds follow the Public Land Survey System: acreage near McRae is commonly described by section, township and range, commonly down to a quarter-quarter. For a platted lot in McRae, the recorded plat named on the record displays the dimensions, which a surveyor will want to see.
Walking a line in White County
When you walk a line near Beebe, take the parcel ID, the legal description and a printout from the county map; it keeps a conversation with a neighbor concrete. Take photos of any pins or markers you track down near Bald Knob and note where they sit relative to the county parcel outline.
Building near a line in McRae
Garages, sheds and pools near Antioch commonly have setback minimums, and the measurement is from the surveyed line, not the White County GIS line. Long-standing fences near Antioch can raise legal questions under Arkansas law, which is a conversation for a real estate attorney.
The White County economy in brief
County Business Patterns counted 1,620 business establishments in White County for 2022, led by retail trade, health care and social assistance, and other services. Compared with national shares, White County leans toward pipeline transportation and primary metal manufacturing, which shapes demand for land near McRae.
Towns and land across White County
Town lots cluster around Searcy, the county seat, and Bald Knob, Beebe, Bradford, and Judsonia. Unincorporated communities in White County, including El Paso, Floyd, and Albion, display up as small groups of parcels along the roads. Roughly 1,034 square miles of land and about 78,452 residents (2023 estimate) make up White County. Platted neighborhoods near Kensett give way to rural acreage elsewhere in the county.
Pins, plats and surveys
Corner pins on a lot in Bradford are commonly slightly below grade, and a recorded survey of land near Antioch displays where to look. If a neighbor near Antioch disputes a line, the county's recording office may already hold a plat, and an attorney can advise if it escalates.

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.
