The University of
Arkansas at Monticello is located three miles south of the city of
Monticello on a wooded campus adjacent to United States Highway 425.
Monticello, the county seat of Drew County, is located 100 miles
southeast of Little Rock and 84 miles north of Monroe, Louisiana.
Situated in the pine forests of Southeast
Arkansas on the edge of the rich Mississippi delta, the University
is ideally located to serve the state's educational needs and
provides an excellent setting for the state's only School of
Forestry. Included in the University's 1,600 acres are 1,036 acres
of forest land used for research, management and instruction, and
300 acres devoted to agricultural teaching and research. To the west
and south are vast forest lands managed by a rapidly growing private
forest industry to produce wood and paper products. To the east,
farmers raise cotton, rice and soybeans in the fertile Mississippi
delta.
