Another great resource for Arkansas Maps is http://www.arkansashighways.com.

You can get (my favorite) county by county DETAILED maps showing the road system in 1936, along with EACH Residence, School, Church, Graveyard, Quarry/Mine, etc. The maps are available in TIFF format, and very large if printed to full size.

I live in Ashley County, and if I wanted, I could blow this map up to 4' tall and still have really good detail without a bunch of jaggies.

The maps are free for the downloading. You can also get some city maps of the smaller towns there.

I have lived here for over 20 years since leaving New Orleans. Using the map I downloaded, I found a ghost town I never knew existed. Used to fish less than 100 yards from the old church grounds. Very Nice!
