A Marshall County plat book is the township-by-township atlas farmers, hunters and land buyers around Potts Camp have kept in the truck for generations. Below is how to track one down for Marshall County, MS, and what the online map does better.
What's inside a county plat book
Think of the Marshall County plat book as a bound, printed version of ownership: township pages, owner names on each tract, and road maps for places like Byhalia. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Byhalia; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
