Arphax Publishing Co. ( http://arphax.com/ ) has just completed a plat book for Howard Co., AR federal land patents. If you click the Howard Co., AR link, the next page coming up will have an index. I have purchased 2 books from Arphax Publishing Co. and both are excellently done and I have been very pleased. Thank you & good luck in your search!
