For a parcel in or near New Albany, the New Albany GIS map shows the outline, the owner of record and a parcel ID. This New Albany guide covers: where that map lives, how to search it, and the limits worth knowing.
Opening the New Albany GIS map: start here
Parcel maps here are usually run by the county, not the town, so for New Albany the go-to is the Union County ArcGIS parcel map.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Union County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes each tax parcel in the county, Sherman included. If the land is near Myrtle, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For land near Blue Springs, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Sherman are filed with the Chancery Clerk. Older tracts near Sherman may trace back through many deeds, and a title company is worth hiring if money is changing hands.
Before you lean on the lines
Listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on land around Blue Springs. For a parcel near Myrtle, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Next door to Union County
Union County touches Benton County, Lafayette County, Lee County, Marshall County, and Pontotoc County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Blue Springs may be split across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map as well. For acreage around Myrtle, our state page links each neighboring county map across Mississippi.
City limits and county records
New Albany lies within Union County, Mississippi, which means parcel data comes from the county. As the county seat, New Albany hosts the courthouse, so deeds and plats are filed in town. Around Blue Springs, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the city limits near Sherman often follows county rules instead.
Search tips
Vacant ground near Sherman may lack an address, so zoom in from US Route 78 and click the outline. For a tract near Myrtle, searching by parcel number never misses, and you'll find it on tax statements.
What the layers show
For a tract near Sherman, look in the layer list for city limits, flood hazard, zoning or soils; availability varies.
When the map won't load
When the map won't open around Myrtle, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; the Platbookmapper county page tracks the current link.
Which office to call
Recorded documents for a parcel near Myrtle are with the Chancery Clerk, often with an online index. Questions about what you can build around Blue Springs need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
How land is described here
Mississippi uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Myrtle is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Blue Springs can be irregular. Keep the legal description for land near Myrtle for any title or survey request.
Places you'll see on the map
New Albany is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Myrtle, Blue Springs, and Sherman, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 28,284 people live in Union County (Census estimate, 2023) across about 416 square miles. Union County was organized in 1870, so old deeds can run back a long way. Landmarks such as Holly Springs National Forest are easy to spot when you zoom out from Blue Springs.
