General Land Office Township Plats Georeferenced
Through geographic information systems (GIS) research and development, we have spatially geo-referenced and mosaiced scanned images of the original plats for the state of Arkansas to a common coordinate system, being Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and datum, being North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). A total of 1716 plat images were spatially referenced using township and section corners. In addition to providing these geo-referenced images in a database, we also defined the township extents and clipped the excess overlapping edges of paper, referred to as “collars”. We were able to mosaic these together to provide county and state wide images. This dataset provides 1700+ individual township plats "collar" on and off, a state wide mosaic, and mosaics displaying the 75 counties in Arkansas. The product from this project is intended to serve as a valuable research tool for surveyors, natural resource professionals, historians, and the general public.
