This page covers the Clarke County parcel map: the official link, what each part of the parcel record tells you, and which Mississippi land records to pull when the map isn't enough.
We'll cover the official map, the communities and terrain around Shubuta, how property lines work in Mississippi, and where the deeds come from.
Where to find the official Clarke County parcel map
Open the Clarke County ArcGIS parcel map (built on an Esri ArcGIS web map); it is the county's own published map. For land around Pachuta with no street number, zoom to the road and click the tract to open its record. If the map ever goes missing, check the Clarke County, Mississippi listing on Platbookmapper for the new address.
Behind the map: land records in Clarke County
The paper trail for a tract near Stonewall lives with the chancery clerk; the map itself is an assessment product. In Clarke County, the chancery clerk is the custodian of land records, from deeds and deeds of trust to plats and liens. Easements and rights-of-way are usually in recorded documents, not on the parcel map, so read the deed itself for a tract near Carmichael.
What the map covers, from Quitman to the back roads
Most of the platted lots cluster in and around Quitman (the county seat) and Enterprise, Pachuta, Shubuta, and Stonewall. Crossroads communities such as De Soto, Barnett, and Basic have their own small clusters of lots. The county was organized in 1833, so some tracts carry a long chain of deeds. Census Bureau estimates show 15,228 residents in 2023 and around 692 square miles of land in the county. That is a rural density, so once you leave Shubuta expect a patchwork of farm tracts, woodlots and small acreage splits.
Who needs this map
The same map serves very different jobs around Shubuta. For hobby-farm buyers near Pachuta, the parcel map shows how a tract sits against its neighbors and the road. Investors comb the area around Stonewall for unbuilt parcels and absentee owners, two clues that a tract might be for sale. A hunter driving the back roads near Carmichael can match a promising woodlot to an owner name in seconds.
Acreage and vacant lot search
To use the Clarke County parcel map for a vacant land search:
- Zoom out over the countryside around Pachuta with the aerial layer on, and look for parcels with no structures.
- Check who owns each open tract near Enterprise and where the tax bill goes.
- Size up price by comparing a few similar tracts around Pachuta on the assessment records.
- Measure the road frontage on the map; a sliver of frontage on a road outside Quitman may not be enough for a driveway permit.
- For a tract near Quitman, confirm zoning, septic suitability and flood status before you make an offer.
Before you buy near Pachuta, read how to tell if land is buildable.
Are the Clarke County property lines accurate?
Lines on the map show roughly where one parcel near Pachuta ends and the next begins; the exact spot is a surveyor's call. Out past Pachuta, rural deeds usually cite a section, township and range, and those section lines often show on the parcel layer. If a neighbor's fence near Pachuta and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
A note on timing and acreage
Splits and sales near Carmichael can take weeks or months to show up on the parcel layer. For a rural tract near Carmichael, get acreage from a survey, not the tax record, if it matters for a deal.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
