Old mill sites, ghost towns

[dirty_digger]

I am new to Arkansas and trying to chase down its old lost sites. Does anyone know about old mill sites or ghost towns in Arkansas? Maybe even a resource that can be used?

I am living in Jacksonville. And I have seen the ghost towns.com website. There isnt much there. I just moved here from Oklahoma, and was born n raised in TEXAS. Both of those states have a ton of info on ghost towns. Arkansas has very little it seems. But I know towns popped up all over near the old mills.

I always find ghost towns by accident. I drive down the old roads/highways and usually find atleast 1 or 2 ghost towns on every old road or highway.
