Hunting for the latest Marion County plat book? A plat book shows owners and tract lines on township pages, popular with hunters, farmers and buyers near Kokomo. What this Marion County guide covers: what's in a plat book, where to look for printed copies, and how the county viewer fills the gaps.
The Marion County plat book: start here
For property near Bunker Hill, a plat book is a privately published atlas, showing rural owners and tract lines, page by page across the county.
The free map to start with
Go first to the Marion County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every assessed parcel around Bunker Hill and Kokomo. For land near Kokomo, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. In and around Expose, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and often a sale date.

Editions and availability
Not every county has a current edition, check with local offices and farm stores near Bunker Hill.
Reading the legal description
Mississippi follows the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Expose cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Foxworth vary in size. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Foxworth for any title or survey request.
Where the recorded documents are
For a home near Bunker Hill, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the Chancery Clerk. Inherited tracts near Columbia may sit on several deeds, so a title company is worth hiring if money is changing hands.

Places you'll see on the map
Columbia serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Foxworth, Kokomo, Bunker Hill, and Cheraw, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 24,224 people call Marion County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 542 square miles. Marion County was organized in 1811, and some chains of title near Bunker Hill are long.
Atlas or legal document
Out toward Columbia, don't confuse the atlas with a recorded subdivision plat: the recorded plat at the Chancery Clerk is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Expose go to the County Tax Assessor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Expose need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Marion County borders Washington Parish, LA, Jefferson Davis County, Lamar County, Lawrence County, and Pearl River County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Expose may be split across two assessors' files, so look at the neighboring map as well. For a tract near Kokomo, the Platbookmapper state page links each neighboring county map for Mississippi.
Before you lean on the lines
Acreage on the record is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real boundary on land around Bunker Hill. For a parcel near Kokomo, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Expose, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Foxworth keeps working without signal.
Why people still buy them
Farmers, hunters and appraisers near Cheraw use plat books to see ownership across many tracts at once.

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.
