Where to find the official Attala County parcel map
Open the statewide MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer and zoom toward Kosciusko; Attala County's parcels are part of that layer. Zoom until the lot lines show up around Ethel, then click; the pop-up gives the parcel ID, owner and acreage. If the official link ever moves, the Attala County page on Platbookmapper keeps the current version.
Where Attala County deeds and plats are kept
Recorded deeds and plats for Attala County are kept by the chancery clerk, while the parcel layer is maintained for tax assessment. Mississippi puts land records with the chancery clerk, so that office in Attala County is where to request deeds and plats. The parcel record often lists a deed book and page or an instrument number, which is how you request a copy of the recorded deed for a tract near McCool.

Kosciusko is the county seat, and other towns on the map include Ethel, McCool, and Sallis.

Finding vacant land and acreage in Attala County
A vacant-land search near McCool, step by step:
- Turn on the photo basemap and work outward from Ethel one road at a time, flagging parcels with no buildings.
- For the open ground around McCool, copy the owner, acreage and mailing address into a simple spreadsheet.
- Check that the tract touches a public road; a landlocked lot near Ethel can be hard to finance and build on.

How accurate are Attala County, MS property lines?
On rural tracts near McAdams, the parcel lines can drift from the fences on the ground, sometimes by more than a few feet. Mississippi uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural deeds in Attala County often describe land by section, township and range, and you can match the call to the grid on the map. For rural ground near McAdams, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
A note on timing and acreage
Splits and sales near McAdams can take weeks or months to show up on the parcel layer. The acreage on a Sallis record is what the tax roll uses, and a survey can come out different.
