Ground around Arkadelphia takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes surface drainage and a deeper base more important here than in other places. Soils in the area are commonly moderately well drained, so more base stone may be needed under the surface layer.
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
