The Cogburn Dipping Vat is a historic former cattle dipping facility in Ouachita National Forest, west of Black Spring, Arkansas. It is located about 19 metres (62 ft) 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 13 metres (43 ft). 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.[2]
The vat was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
