Louisiana Purchase State Park
Louisiana Purchase State Park is a state park located near Blackton, Arkansas, commemorating the starting point of land surveys made of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. The park encompasses of swampland, a landform which is regionally in decline due to agricultural development practices. The centerpiece of the park is a granite marker place in 1926. The park was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993 in recognition for the location's importance in the surveying of much of the western United States.
==Description==
Louisiana Purchase State Park is located at the eastern end of Arkansas Highway 362, southeast of Blackton, Arkansas, at the tripoint junction of Phillips, Lee, and Monroe Counties. It is a parcel of swampland, which is remarkably unchanged from the time when surveyors came here in 1815. This type of swampland is becoming increasingly rare because of the practice of draining and clearing them for agricultural use. A boardwalk long leads to the site of the marker, with occasional interpretive signs describing the ecology of the area and the historic significance of the marker.
The marker, dedicated in 1926, is a granite monument in height, and is about wide at its base. It typically stands in about one foot of water. Its inscription reads "This stone marks the base established November 10, 1815, from which the lands of the Louisiana Purchase were surveyed by United States engineers. The first survey from this point was made to satisfy the claims of the soldiers of the War of 1812 with land bounties. Erected by the Arkansas Daughters of the American Revolution. Sponsored by the L'Anguille Chapter."〔
