I live in South Arkansas so I would prefer a location in North Louisiana. Where is the best place to find them?

Following.
I have a feeling that satsuma trees and the like are going to be in short supply over the next year or so.

When you click on Trident’s link, look for “exclusive trees” on the left side of the page. Their “Arctic Frost” satsuma is the most cold-hardy in the industry, down to 9 degrees. Ask where you might find them if you’re looking to try it outdoors.
Maybe in a protected spot, you’ll have some luck for a few years.
I think I read that these trees are on their own rootstock, so if a freeze eventually kills it, maybe it could come back from the roots.

YMMV… Here in Florida you can find them at Home Depot. They had some 6-8’ trees at my local HD this week. Not sure if it’s a particular variety or not.

No local nurseries??? Get arctic frost and protect it until it gets big and doesn't need protection.

Citrus in FL has been wrecked by citrus greening (HLB). It doesn’t really matter what variety you plant; within 2-3 years it will be infected and producing poor quality fruit or the tree will be dead.
UF has been working on it. Some varieties have shown tolerance to HLB like Sugar Belle. They (UF) seem focused on finger limes right now. A citrus adjacent fruit native to Australia. Imagine a lime about the size of your thumb. When sliced open and squeezed; the citrus pops out like little pearls of citrus caviar.
I’m growing a few trees now. It’s an acquired taste. Some are very tart and often a bit crunchy.
As a result of HLB, the local nurseries and places like Home Depot sell whatever they can get their hands on. The Satsuma trees I saw earlier this week were in 15 gallon pots and cost $60.
