The printed Grenada County plat book and the online parcel map answer the same question, who owns the land near Bew Springs, in different ways. Here's what a plat book is, where to look for one in Grenada County, and the free official map that stays current between editions.
What a Grenada County plat book is
Private publishers compile plat books from county records, so a county edition is a snapshot of who owned land near Bew Springs the year it was printed. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Elliott; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Opening the Grenada County parcel viewer
For land around Bew Springs, open the Grenada County ArcGIS parcel map (an Esri ArcGIS web map); it's the map Grenada County itself publishes. Click any Grenada County parcel near Holcomb to open its record: owner, parcel ID and assessed acreage are generally listed. If the official address for the Grenada County, MS map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for Holcomb and the rest of the county.
Finding a printed Grenada County plat book
Try the library in Bew Springs or a local historical society for older Grenada County editions; libraries sometimes keep past atlases for reference. An old atlas can help trace when a piece of ground near Elliott split off from a larger farm.
What a plat book page displays near Holcomb
A typical atlas page for a township near Holcomb displays sections, roads and streams, with each ownership block labeled. Small parcels and town lots in Holcomb are frequently too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. Genealogists in Mississippi frequently pair an old Grenada County atlas with deed records to follow a farm through the generations.

Roughly 422 square miles of land and about 21,065 residents (2023 estimate) make up Grenada County. Platted neighborhoods near Bew Springs give way to rural acreage elsewhere in the county.
