Summary 

The data contained within this collection represents the County Boundaries of Arkansas.

Description 

The county boundary is a publication of polygons of all counties in Arkansas. It represents the contemporary boundary of each county as established or altered by various Acts of the Arkansas Legislature. The database provides location, and population information for use in local and regional cartographic and spatial analysis applications.When necessary the data were adjusted to conform to known physical features recited in the Acts. This dataset does not represent exact legal boundaries as per surveyed description, but, rather a set of boundaries used for the administrative purposes that conforms to logical & administrative rules. These polygons may be edited for the purpose of small spatial alignment changes based on new, enhanced or improved supporting base map data, such as orthoimagery, public land survey system (PLSS), or precision PLSS corner control data that improves the spatial accuracy of the existing geometry.
