Old Potter, also known as Potter Junction, is a small place in Polk County, Arkansas, United States. It's not a city or town with its own local government. Instead, it's called an unincorporated community, which means it's a group of homes and businesses that are part of a larger county area.
Exploring Old Potter
Old Potter is found in Potter Township. It sits right along two important roads: U.S. Route 59 and U.S. Route 71. These roads are like major highways that connect different parts of Arkansas and beyond.
Where Roads Meet
This community is special because it's where Highway 375 (AR 375) begins. If you travel about 2 miles (3.2 km) west on AR 375, you'll reach the nearby community of Potter. That's also where the Kansas City Southern Railway line passes through. So, Old Potter is a bit of a crossroads for both cars and trains!
