Plat books vs. recorded plats in Attala County
Think of the Attala County plat book as a bound, printed version of ownership: township pages, owner names on each tract, and road maps for places like Sallis. Deeds and recorded plats, not the atlas, still govern land near McAdams in the county.
Step one: the free Attala County viewer
For Attala County, the free public parcel layer is state-run: open the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer and pan to Kosciusko.

Finding a printed Attala County plat book
Whether a current Attala County edition exists varies, so ask locally in McCool before ordering; county offices often know if one is in print. Older editions are useful for family history around Sallis, showing who held a farm decades ago.
Atlas details and limits
A typical atlas page for a township near Ethel displays sections, roads and streams, with each ownership block labeled. Small parcels and town lots in Ethel are often too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. Genealogists in Mississippi often pair an old Attala County atlas with deed records to follow a farm through the generations.
