If a legal description for land in Corinth cites a lot number, the Corinth plat map is where those numbers come from. What this Corinth guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Tracking down the Corinth plat map
For a lot in Corinth, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; use it to request a copy.
The viewer Alcorn County publishes
Parcels around Farmington are published on the Alcorn County ArcGIS parcel map, which opens without registering. Near Farmington, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. Out toward Kossuth, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Corinth, MS: the basics
The town sits in Alcorn County, Mississippi, so its parcels are on the county's map, at least around Farmington. As the county seat, Corinth hosts the courthouse, which puts the Chancery Clerk close by. For a home near Kossuth, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the city limits near Rienzi usually answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
A word on accuracy
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so a tree line near Glen often sits a few yards off the line on screen. For property near Rienzi, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Plat map vs. parcel map
The Alcorn County ArcGIS parcel map draws parcels for taxes, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
Who handles what
Anything recorded against property around Glen are with the Chancery Clerk, usually searchable by name or document number. Building or septic questions for a lot near Kossuth go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
On site with the map

The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Rienzi are filed with the Chancery Clerk. Long-held tracts near Glen may go back through a long string of deeds, and a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Details on the Corinth plat map
Utility or drainage strips on a lot in Corinth can block a shed or pool; read the notes on the sheet.

When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Farmington, so check for later filings; street vacations near Glen show up in the records too.

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Farmington can be irregular.

When a parcel crosses a boundary

A tract near the line by Rienzi can show up across two assessors' files, so open the neighboring map as well. For a home near Kossuth, our state page links every bordering county map for Mississippi.

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.
