Mapping the Butler Center

The Butler Center has a large collection of historic maps. While the focus of the collection is Arkansas, there are also a number of regional, national, and world maps as well. Some of the earliest maps date to the 17th Century. The Arkansas maps are divided by type (state, county, and municipality). There are also separate categories for Civil War and miscellaneous maps.

You can search for maps in our collection through the regular library catalog (or click here to see the results of a search for all maps in the Butler Center). Don’t see what you are looking for? Give us a call (501-918-3056) or email us (arkinfo@cals.org). We have a number of maps ready for researchers that are still being added to the catalog; we just might be able to help you out.
