Free Arkansas Highway Map by Mail

1. What Is the Free Arkansas Highway Map by Mail?

This is a physical state highway map offered by Arkansas transportation officials. The department says it has distributed the map free of charge to motorists since 1916. The official page welcomes people traveling to Arkansas, passing through the state, or living there.

A printed highway map gives you a broad view of your route without needing to keep a screen open. It can help you compare roads, recognize nearby towns, and discuss a travel plan with someone else. The current request page does not identify a specific publication year, so do not assume you will receive a particular edition.

2. What Does the Map Include?

According to the provider, the map includes updates to the state road network and expanded views of major cities. Those closer views can help you understand routes in urban areas rather than relying only on the statewide overview.

It also includes a mileage chart between cities and towns, plus a directory of public recreation areas. The provider lists state parks, historic memorials, national park sites, national forest recreation areas, and Corps of Engineers recreation projects among those resources. These details can be useful when deciding where to stop along the way.

3. How to Request Your Printed Map Online

1. Open the official request page using the button above.
2. Scroll to the Order Online! section.
3. Enter your first and last name.
4. Select the number of maps you need.
5. Provide your mailing address, city, state or region, and postal code.
6. Review any notices shown for your selected quantity and complete the form.

The form also includes organization and email fields. Only provide information that applies to your request, and double-check your mailing details before submitting. This is a provider request form; I Love Freebies does not collect your address or mail the maps.

4. Quantity and Mailing Details to Watch

The form asks you to choose a quantity. For requests exceeding 25 maps, it directs users to call (501) 569-2444. Request only the quantity you can reasonably use.

The form contains a notice that certain quantities cannot be shipped to a P.O. Box and require a delivery address. Follow any notice displayed for your selection rather than assuming every quantity has the same mailing rules. Although a country field appears, the page does not clearly explain international eligibility; check with the provider before relying on overseas delivery.

5. Can You Request a Map by Postal Mail?

Yes. The official page also provides a postal request option. Address your request to:

Arkansas Department of Transportation
Map Requests
P.O. Box 2261
Little Rock, AR 72203

Include a clear return mailing address and explain that you would like a state highway map. The map itself is described as free, but sending your own request letter requires your own envelope and postage. The online form is an alternative if you prefer to avoid mailing a letter.

6. How Long Will Delivery Take?

The official page and request form do not give a delivery estimate. Allow time for processing and mailing, and avoid depending on the map for a trip that starts immediately. We cannot promise a specific arrival date or guarantee fulfillment.

The provider also says maps are available at its central office, district offices, and Arkansas Welcome Centers. If you are already traveling in Arkansas, those may be useful pickup options. Check with the relevant location before making a special trip.

7. Practical Ways to Use Your Map

Keep the printed map in your vehicle, compare possible stops before leaving home, or use it to explain your planned route to a travel companion. A paper map can be particularly helpful when a phone battery runs low or mobile service is unreliable.

Use current traffic and road-condition information alongside the printed map. A highway map is a planning tool, and it cannot show every temporary closure or changing condition. For other mailed planning resources, explore our free maps and travel guides by mail roundup.

8. Check the Official Request Page Before Ordering

This is a straightforward map request from the state transportation department, with no purchase step shown on the official form. Availability, form fields, and fulfillment instructions can change, so read the live page before submitting your details.

Use the official request route and avoid unrelated pages asking for payment or unnecessary personal information. There is no verified fixed expiration date for this offer, so we have not assigned one. The provider handles all requests and any questions about your delivery.
