Merck, Arkansas
Yes, there is a Merck, Arkansas.
I continue to be amazed at how good the Google Earth program is. An interesting discovery of little value was made when I recently entered Merck, Arkansas into the search function of Google Earth. Surprisingly it found a site named "Merck (historical)" not far from where I live. It is located at 35-19N 90-37W. There is little information to be found about that location, but it appears that it was the location of a church. Out in the country on a county road, it is close to the town of Parkin in Cross County.
One day when I am bored and have a couple of hours to spare I will drive to that site to see what I can find out about it. It is likely that I will need to use my GPS to find it -- it's not likely there will be any signs pointing to it or to announce when I have arrived.
