When a listing near Burdette mentions a lot number, you'll need the Blytheville plat map to make sense of it. Covered here for Blytheville: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Tracking down the Blytheville plat map
For a lot in Blytheville, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
The viewer Mississippi County publishes
The public parcel map for this area is the Mississippi County ArcGIS parcel map, and no login is needed to use it. Around Burdette, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a home near Dell, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Blytheville, AR: the basics
Blytheville lies within Mississippi County, Arkansas, and the county assessor maps its lots. Blytheville is also the county seat, so deeds and plats are filed in town. Around Dell, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits toward Dell usually falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Luxora, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Gosnell is a good backup.
Plat map vs. parcel map
The tax map on the Mississippi County ArcGIS parcel map is a summary, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Offices that can help
For assessment questions about property around Luxora are handled by the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Luxora need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Lots, blocks and easements
For a parcel near Gosnell, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Reading the legal description
Arkansas is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Manila is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Dell vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near Luxora when you talk to a surveyor.
Places you'll see on the map
Blytheville holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Gosnell, Burdette, Dell, and Luxora, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 38,663 people live in Mississippi County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 902 square miles. Mississippi County dates to 1833, so old deeds can run back a long way. Landmarks such as Big Lake National Wildlife Refuge make handy reference points on the map near Gosnell.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around Dell, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Before you lean on the lines
Listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary for a parcel near Luxora. Out toward Dell, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Land outside a subdivision
Rural land near Manila that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; look for a recorded survey for land near Victoria.
Requesting the plat
If the land is near Burdette, some counties put plat images online, while others require a visit or a request; copy fees are usually small.
Next door to Mississippi County
Mississippi County borders Craighead County, Crittenden County, Poinsett County, Dunklin County, MO, and Pemiscot County, MO, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground near Dell that runs to the line can be split across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map as well. In and around Manila, the Platbookmapper state page lists every neighboring county map for Arkansas.
The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Burdette sit with the Circuit Clerk. Long-held tracts near Luxora may go back through a long string of deeds, and a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
