For land around Cullum, a quick Kemper County land owner map lists owner, value and acreage. Covered here for this county: which viewer to use, how to read owner names, and the next step when you need proof, at least around Cullum.
Running a Kemper County land owner map step by step
The Kemper County ArcGIS parcel map is the free tool for this; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Kemper County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every tax parcel from Giles to Bogue Chitto. Without an address in hand, follow the nearest road on the aerial and click the parcel itself, whether the land is near Electric Mills or elsewhere in the county. For a tract near Electric Mills, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every records desk in the county will want it.
Trusts, estates and LLCs
For acreage around Giles, the owner field shows who the tax bill names, which may be a person, a trust, a company or an estate. "Estate of" on a record near Scooba often points to an open probate, and the executor handles questions.
Backing up the map with records
For acreage around De Kalb, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the Chancery Clerk. On ground around Giles, bring the instrument number shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
A word on accuracy
For a parcel near De Kalb, acreage on the record is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on the ground. On ground around Giles, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Proof of ownership
Closer to Bogue Chitto, a viewer entry isn't legal proof; the recorded deed at the Chancery Clerk is.

Kemper County meets Sumter County, AL, Lauderdale County, Neshoba County, Newton County, and Noxubee County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by De Kalb can be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map too. Closer to De Kalb, the Platbookmapper state page lists every neighboring county map for Mississippi.
Tax data in the record

How land is described here
Mississippi uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Bogue Chitto reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near De Kalb odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Bogue Chitto when you talk to a surveyor.
Getting your bearings
De Kalb is the county seat, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Scooba, Bogue Chitto, Porterville, and Cullum, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 8,584 people live in Kemper County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 766 square miles. Kemper County was formed in 1833, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Electric Mills, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Electric Mills and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Offices that can help
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Scooba looks off go to the County Tax Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Scooba go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
