Where to open the official Clay County GIS map
Parcels from West Point to Pheba are on the Clay County ArcGIS parcel map, which the county runs on an Esri ArcGIS web map. Search an address in West Point, or pan out toward Pheba and click a rural tract; either way the record pops up with owner and acreage. Bookmark the Platbookmapper page for Clay County too; we update it when the official map moves.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
Recorded deeds and plats for Clay County are kept by the chancery clerk, while the parcel layer is maintained for tax assessment. A deed or plat for land near Pheba is kept by the Clay County chancery clerk, Mississippi's land-records custodian. For subdivision lots in Abbott, the plat book and page on the record leads straight to the recorded plat.
Towns, terrain and land across Clay County
The county seat is West Point, home to the courthouse. Founded in 1871 and named for Henry Clay, the county has land records that reach back a long way, which helps when you trace a title. About 18,206 people lived in Clay County in 2023, according to Census Bureau estimates, on roughly 410 square miles. That is a rural density, so once you leave Abbott expect a patchwork of farm tracts, woodlots and small acreage splits.
Who needs this map
- Small-farm and homestead buyers looking around Pheba compare tract sizes and shapes on the map before calling a listing agent.
- Vacant-lot hunters working the edges of West Point look for parcels with no structures and owners who live out of the area.
- For a hunter with permission on one farm near Pheba, the parcel map shows exactly where that permission stops.
Acreage and vacant lot search
Five steps for vacant land in Clay County:
- With imagery on, zoom to the edge of Pheba where subdivisions give way to open ground.
- Check who owns each open tract near West Point and where the tax bill goes.
- Check that the tract touches a public road; a landlocked lot near Pheba can be hard to finance and build on.
- Compare the record's land value against similar parcels on the same road out of Pheba.
- For a tract near Abbott, confirm zoning, septic suitability and flood status before you make an offer.
Before you buy near Pheba, read how to tell if land is buildable.
Reading property lines on the Clay County GIS map
On rural tracts near Pheba, the parcel lines can drift from the fences on the ground, sometimes by more than a few feet. Out past Pheba, 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 Pheba and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.

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.
