Looking at a lot near Potts Camp? A quick look at the Holly Springs flood zone map shows whether the lot falls inside a mapped floodplain, and the lookup is free. In this Holly Springs guide: locating a parcel on FEMA's map, decoding A, AE and X, and pairing it with the Marshall County ArcGIS parcel map.
The Holly Springs flood zone map: start here
Flood zones come from FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: enter the street address, then open the map view for that panel. Rural land near Potts Camp with no street number can still be found: zoom in from Interstate 22 and click inside the land.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the Marshall County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each assessed parcel from Byhalia to Potts Camp. When a rural tract has no street number, follow Interstate 22 on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. For property near Potts Camp, copy the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Byhalia, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Potts Camp with its ID keeps working without signal.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Marshall County borders Benton County, DeSoto County, Lafayette County, Tate County, and Union County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Potts Camp may show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. For a parcel near Byhalia, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map for Mississippi.
City limits and county records
Holly Springs sits in Marshall County, Mississippi, which means parcel data comes from the county. Holly Springs is also the county seat, so deeds and plats are filed in town. In and around Potts Camp, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits toward Potts Camp often follows county rules rather than the town's.
How land is described here
Mississippi is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Byhalia is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Potts Camp odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Potts Camp before you request a deed or survey.
Decoding the flood zone labels
Zone AE comes with a base flood elevation, and an unnumbered A zone has none; that elevation drives building rules near Potts Camp. Closer to Potts Camp, a low-risk label isn't a guarantee: according to FEMA, floods happen outside mapped zones too.
Places you'll see on the map
Holly Springs serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. Smaller places on the map include Potts Camp and Byhalia, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 34,123 people live in Marshall County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on some 706 square miles. Marshall County was organized in 1836, and some chains of title near Byhalia are long. Features like Holly Springs National Forest make handy reference points on the map near Byhalia.
Beyond the mapped zones
Small streams around Byhalia aren't always studied in detail, so look for water marks and debris lines. Wetlands near Potts Camp can limit building even outside a flood zone; check the National Wetlands Inventory mapper for a first look.
Parcel lines plus flood zones
FEMA doesn't draw property lines, so open the Marshall County ArcGIS parcel map next to confirm you have the right parcel near Byhalia.
What to request from a seller
Request for any Elevation Certificate for the house near Potts Camp; getting a quote early keeps the budget honest.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Potts Camp sit with the Chancery Clerk. If you're looking near Potts Camp, have ready the instrument number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Money questions tied to the zone
In and around Potts Camp, get the Elevation Certificate if one exists: it records the building's elevation against the base flood. Remodeling a house in a zone near Byhalia can trigger elevation rules; check with the county or town building office early.
