The intricate and interesting history of the 19th century government surveys of the public domain in Arkansas. A history that underlies and guides our work today: shortcomings in the original GLO work, political influences on the surveys, land speculators and fraud, legal issues and Standards of Practice, government resurveys and private retracements, and the importance of county surveyor records.
