Vetting Leflore County land for sale: start here
Open tracts on the Leflore County ArcGIS parcel map usually carry little or no building value, which helps when scanning around Sidon.
The free map to start with
Go first to the Leflore County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each assessed parcel from Berclair to Morgan City. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along US Route 82 and select the outline, for land near Morgan City included. In and around Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
What the map can't tell you
Near Money, acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real lines on the ground. With a lot near Itta Bena, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Neighboring parcel maps
Leflore County meets Carroll County, Grenada County, Holmes County, Humphreys County, and Sunflower County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Berclair can show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map too. Closer to Sidon, the Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map for Mississippi.

Sections, lots and bearings

Visiting the tract

What the deed may not include
Rights below the surface near Browning may belong to someone else, which a title search can uncover.
