Lawrence County at a glance: towns and land
The county seat is Monticello; New Hebron and Silver Creek are among the other communities you can zoom to. The map also labels unincorporated places, Arm, Jayess, and Oak Vale among them. The county's land area is about 431 square miles, and the Census Bureau estimated 11,741 residents there in 2023. That is a rural density, so once you leave New Hebron expect a patchwork of farm tracts, woodlots and small acreage splits.
What drives the land market here
In the 2022 County Business Patterns data, Lawrence County had 178 establishments; retail trade, other services, and health care and social assistance led the count. The sectors that stand out against the national mix are forestry and logging, utilities, and truck transportation. Timber tracts in Lawrence County change hands for wood value as much as for building, so check the parcel record and the aerial photo together. That context helps when you read the parcel pattern around Monticello: jobs and land use move together.
Getting into the Lawrence County ArcGIS parcel map
Lawrence County's public parcel map is the Lawrence County ArcGIS parcel map, hosted on an Esri ArcGIS web map. For land around Monticello with no street number, zoom to the road and click the tract to open its record. We track the link on our Lawrence County directory page, so check there if it stops loading.
Acreage and vacant lot search
Here's a simple routine for finding open ground in Lawrence County using the parcel map:
- Start on the outskirts of Silver Creek, where empty lots are easy to spot between the houses on the aerial layer.
- A tax bill mailed far from Arm usually means an absentee owner, so note the mailing address on each record.
- Assessed values lag the market, but comparing tracts near Arm still shows which ones the county rates higher.
- Measure the road frontage on the map; a sliver of frontage on a road outside New Hebron may not be enough for a driveway permit.
- Before you sign for land near Silver Creek, check what the local planning and health offices will allow on it.
Who needs this map
Here's who tends to use it in Lawrence County.
- Land shoppers looking between New Hebron and Monticello measure road frontage on the map and check whether a tract is landlocked.
- Folks shopping for raw land click through empty parcels near New Hebron, note the owners, and send letters.
- If you hunt the country around Arm, the owner layer tells you who to ask and where the next property begins.
- Builders bidding a house on a lot in Silver Creek start with the parcel ID and legal description, since permit paperwork usually asks for both.
Reading property lines on the Lawrence County GIS map
A Lawrence County GIS map is built for assessment, not construction. In Lawrence County, as in most places, the lines are a best fit of old deed calls onto modern aerial photos. Legal descriptions in Mississippi usually lean on the section grid, so learning to read 'NE 1/4 of Section 12' pays off quickly around New Hebron. For rural ground near Arm, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
Where Lawrence County deeds and plats are kept
Recorded deeds and plats for Lawrence County are kept by the chancery clerk, while the parcel layer is maintained for tax assessment. Mississippi puts land records with the chancery clerk, so that office in Lawrence County is where to request deeds and plats. If the Lawrence County parcel record shows an instrument number, that number is the shortcut to the recorded deed.
Nearby parcel maps

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.
