Cogburn Dipping Vat
The Cogburn Dipping Vat is a historic former cattle dipping facility in Ouachita National Forest, west of Black Spring, Arkansas. It is located about west of Forest Road 73 and south of a perennial stream. It is a U-shaped concrete structure, with a distinctive curved shape that matches the contours of the terrain, with a concrete pad at one end. The total length of the structure is about. It was built between 1930 and 1940 as part of a state program to eradicate Texas tick fever from the state's cattle. The vat's name derives from the Cogburn, who homesteaded a farm in the area, and probably built the vat to serve their needs and those of other nearby farmers.
The vat was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
