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.
