I can’t seem to find the following Places to add to a project I’m creating. Any help would be greatly appreciated:

Jefferson County, AR  
Lincoln County, AR  
Jefferson Davis Parish, LA  
Johnson County, OK

I had some challenges finding these, too, and I’m not sure why. The approach that eventually worked for me was:

1. Go to [Places](https://www.inaturalist.org/places)
2. Search for the county name, e.g. “Jefferson County”, in the “Find a place” box
3. Click the link for the correct place, e.g. [https://www.inaturalist.org/places/jefferson-county-ar-us](https://www.inaturalist.org/places/jefferson-county-ar-us)
4. Click the observations tab
5. Click “View more observations from this place”, which takes you to an Explore page
6. Copy the place\_id from the URL on that page, e.g. [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place\_id=1480](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=1480)

Here are the ones you asked for. Note that the last one was missing a “t”.

Jefferson County, AR  
[https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place\_id=1480](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=1480)

Lincoln County, AR  
[https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place\_id=344](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=344)

Jefferson Davis Parish, LA  
[https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place\_id=1986](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=1986)

Johns **t** on County, OK  
[https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place\_id=3058](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=3058)
