The Dooley Dipping Vat is a historic former cattle dipping facility in Ouachita National Forest, southeast of Boles, Arkansas. It is located on a high bank of Countiss Creek east of County Road 925 (Dipping Vat Road). It is a U-shaped concrete structure, oriented north–south with a concrete pad at southern (exit) end. The vat varies in depth between three and six feet (1 and 2 m), and is 48 inches (1,200 mm) wide at the entrance and 36 inches (910 mm) wide at the exit. It was built about 1920 as part of a state program to eradicate Texas tick fever from the state's cattle. The vat's name derives from James Dooley, who homesteaded a farm in the area.[2]
The vat was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
