The Arkansas Highway & Transportation Department has provided a revised layer that consists of township, range and section layer. The Arkansas 1:24000 Township, Range and Section layers were digitized and attributed utilizing information from the 1:24000 USGS Topographic Maps, General Land Office Maps, State of Arkansas Land Commission, State Surveyors Office, and several county assessors’ offices. Other resources such as the ADOP Photography and the National Hydrography Dataset were also used to complete the project. All line work was digitized in CAD and then transferred to a GIS for attribution and quality control. The project took approximately 6 years to complete. Please refer to the layer’s metadata for additional information. The data can be downloaded for no fee at the link below.
