Arkansas on the map
Ten of the 75 counties have two county seats, a legacy of the days when rivers and poor roads made one courthouse hard to reach. Its neighbors, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma, are drawn around it without numbers.
Pulaski County is near the middle of the state; start there and work outward.
