The printed Carroll County plat book and the online parcel map answer the same question, who owns the land near Vaiden, in different ways. This guide covers finding a printed edition for Carroll County, Mississippi, and using the free parcel map in the meantime.
How to use the Carroll County plat book
Private publishers compile plat books from county records, so a county edition is a snapshot of who owned land near Carrollton the year it was printed. It's different from a recorded plat, which is the official survey drawing for a subdivision in Carrollton filed with the county.
The county map you'll pair it with
The county's own public map is the Carroll County ArcGIS parcel map, built on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and it opens without an account for parcels in Carrollton and the rest of the county.
