For a parcel in or near Clarksdale, the Clarksdale GIS map lays out the outline, the owner of record and a parcel ID. What this Clarksdale guide covers: which viewer to open, the fastest ways to search, and the limits worth knowing.
Getting started with the Clarksdale GIS map
In and around Lula, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Your first stop is the Coahoma County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes every tax parcel in the county, Jonestown included. For land near Lula, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a parcel near Friars Point, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Lyon, though signal can drop in rural spots. A printout of the tract near Lyon helps when you meet an owner or agent.

Coahoma County touches Phillips County, AR, Bolivar County, Quitman County, Sunflower County, and Tallahatchie County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Friars Point that runs to the line can show up in two county records, so look at the adjacent map too. For a parcel near Lula, our state page links each neighboring county map across Mississippi.
City limits and county records
Clarksdale is part of Coahoma County, Mississippi, so its parcels are on the county's map. Clarksdale is also the county seat, which puts the Chancery Clerk close by. For property near Lula, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Lots just outside the town limits out by Lyon often falls under county rules rather than the town's.
The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Coahoma sit with the Chancery Clerk. Long-held tracts around Friars Point may sit on many deeds, and a title company earns its fee if money is changing hands.
When the map won't load
If the viewer stalls on a phone near Lyon, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Before you lean on the lines
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real lines on land around Friars Point. In and around Lyon, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Who handles what
Recorded documents for a parcel near Lula are with the Chancery Clerk, often with an online index. Questions about what you can build around Lula go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Searching the map
For a house in Clarksdale, search the street address; owner names are usually entered last name first. Out toward Lula, searching by parcel number never misses, and it's printed on tax bills.
Reading the legal description
Mississippi uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Lula reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Jonestown odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Lula before you request a deed or survey.
Layers worth turning on
