Where to find the official Montgomery County GIS map
Parcels from Winona to Alva are on the Montgomery County ArcGIS parcel map, which the county runs on an Esri ArcGIS web map. Zoom until the lot lines show up around Kilmichael, then click; the pop-up gives the parcel ID, owner and acreage. We keep the link current on our Montgomery County (MS) directory page, next to the neighboring maps.
Property lines in Montgomery County, Mississippi
Lines on the map show roughly where one parcel near Kilmichael ends and the next begins; the exact spot is a surveyor's call. Rural Montgomery County land sits on the federal survey grid: a deed might call out a quarter of a numbered section in a given township and range. For a fence, an addition or a dispute in Montgomery County, budget for a licensed survey; it's the answer a court or a lender will accept.
Getting oriented in Montgomery County
Duck Hill and Kilmichael fill out the town list, and Winona is where the county seat sits. Montgomery County covers about 407 square miles of land; its 2023 population estimate from the Census Bureau was 9,600. Most of the land area is agricultural or wooded, and the parcel lines get bigger and more irregular as you move away from Duck Hill.
Acreage and vacant lot search
Five steps for vacant land in Montgomery County:
- Start on the outskirts of Winona, where empty lots are easy to spot between the houses on the aerial layer.
- For each tract near Duck Hill, note the parcel ID, the owner and where the tax bill is mailed.
- Measure the road frontage on the map; a sliver of frontage on a road outside Duck Hill may not be enough for a driveway permit.
- Size up price by comparing a few similar tracts around Kilmichael on the assessment records.
- Last, call the Montgomery County planning or health office about permits, septic and floodplain before you commit.
For a tract near Duck Hill with no road frontage, see how to tell if land is landlocked.
Private and public hunting ground in Montgomery County

Two things the map won't tell you
A lot in Winona that sold last month may still show the previous owner on the map. For a rural tract near Alva, get acreage from a survey, not the tax record, if it matters for a deal.
