Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Maddock, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of Arkansas' counties, including White, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
