Looking for a Leflore County plat book? Plenty of people around Sidon still want a paper atlas with owner names on every section. This guide covers finding a printed edition for Leflore County, Mississippi, and using the free parcel map in the meantime.
What a Leflore County plat book is
A plat book, sometimes called a land atlas, lists each township in Leflore County as a page, with ownership blocks labeled by owner name and rough acreage. Deeds and recorded plats, not the atlas, still govern land near McNutt in the county.
The county map you'll pair it with
The county's own public map is the Leflore County ArcGIS parcel map, built on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and it opens without an account for parcels in Schlater and the rest of the county. Use the search box for an address in Schlater or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a tract close to Sidon. Bookmark our Leflore County page too; it tracks the official Mississippi link if it moves and lists the maps around Schlater.
Finding a printed Leflore County plat book
Private publishers have printed plat books for many rural counties, but editions for Leflore County come and go; ask at the courthouse, the extension office or a farm supply store in Greenwood. Collectors and genealogists prize old Leflore County atlases since they display farm names and owners near McNutt long before online maps.
The lay of the land around Greenwood
Town lots cluster around Greenwood, the county seat, and Itta Bena, Morgan City, Schlater, and Sidon. Smaller places such as Berclair, Browning, and McNutt appear on the county map as little clusters of lots. Census Bureau estimates put Leflore County at about 26,378 residents in 2023 on roughly 594 square miles of land. Outside Greenwood, most of the county map is farm, ranch or timber ground with large, irregular tracts. Leflore County was organized in 1871, so deeds for older farms near Sidon can run back a long way.
The free online alternative
Between editions, use the Leflore County ArcGIS parcel map; it lists owners, acreage and parcel IDs for land near Morgan City at no cost. Print a screenshot of the tracts around Greenwood if you want a paper copy in the truck.
Reading a Leflore County atlas page
Many atlases add rural residence listings and road maps, handy on back roads near McNutt. Small parcels and town lots in Schlater are commonly too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. Genealogists in Mississippi commonly pair an old Leflore County atlas with deed records to follow a farm through the generations.
