You might check out this GIS-related article regarding the trails:
http://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/1003/trailoftears.html

Sounds like if you would contact the Arkansas individual referenced in that article he might be able to let you know if a GPS map of the trails has been recreated, the article reads as though the states involved were working together to make that happen.

Happy hunting.

Great site, thanks. I was able to find a 1916 map of my area and then piecemeal a modern map together to compare.
