INTRODUCTION Arkansas became the nations 25th state on June 15, 1836. When one hears the name Arkansas they might think of farms and dry grass. Actually Arkansas has more caves and waterfalls than it does farms! Arkansas has many interesting things that most people don’t know about. Guess who grew up in Arkansas capitol city, Little Rock? Bill Clinton! First, in this research paper, I’ve written about the geography of Arkansas. Then, I’ve spent a lot of time explaining its history. Next I’ve written about it’s economy and then I’ve included several general facts about the state of Arkansas. GEOGRAPHY Arkansas lies in the southern-central part of the United States. Missouri borders it on the north. Texas borders it on the southwest and Louisiana on the south. On the east side, the Mississippi River separates it from Mississippi and Tennessee. The state’s greatest length, from east to west, is 275 miles. Its greatest width, from north to south, is 245 miles. The total area of Arkansas is 53,187 square miles. This includes 1,109 square miles of inland water surface. Arkansas has two national forests, Ouachita and Ozark. The original Ouachita tract has been expanded since its boundaries were defined, in 1907. The forests of Arkansas have made lumber, wood products, pulpwood and paper. These are some of the state’s leading industries. Although, more important are the farms of the Mississippi Floodplain and the Gulf Coastal Plain. The highest point in the state of Arkansas is Mount Magazine, with an elevation of 2,753 feet above sea level. It is in the Ouachita Mountains, southeast of Logan County.
