The Clinton plat map: start here
For a subdivision near Edwards, the deed usually cites the plat; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Hinds County parcel viewer; it maps each assessed parcel in the county, Byram included. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along US Route 49 and click the parcel itself. Closer to Edwards, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each clerk in the county will want it.
Next door to Hinds County
Hinds County meets Claiborne County, Copiah County, Madison County, Rankin County, and Simpson County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Edwards may be split across two assessors' files, so look at the neighboring map as well.

A word on accuracy
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so a fence near Jackson may sit a few yards off the line on screen. Around Edwards, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Reading the legal description
Mississippi follows the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Raymond is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Byram vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Learned before you request a deed or survey.
Offices that can help
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Learned come from the Chancery Clerk, often with an online index. Building or septic questions for a lot near Bolton go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
The paper trail behind a parcel
Before you sign anything, request the recorded deed from the Chancery Clerk; the parcel map near Byram only summarizes it. Inherited tracts near Edwards can trace back through several deeds, and a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Edwards, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Requesting the plat
