Who uses the Obion County parcel map
The same map serves very different jobs around Hornbeak. For hobby-farm buyers near South Fulton, the parcel map shows how a tract sits against its neighbors and the road.

Contractors quoting work near Cunningham check frontage and lot depth on the map before they drive out.
What the map covers, from Union City to the back roads
Union City is the county seat, and other towns on the map include South Fulton, Woodland Mills, Hornbeak, and Kenton. The county was organized in 1824 and named for Obion River, so some tracts carry a long chain of deeds. By Census Bureau figures, the county had roughly 30,411 residents in 2023, spread over about 545 square miles of land. Expect suburban-style lots near Hornbeak and plenty of rural ground once the subdivisions thin out. Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge and Reelfoot Lake State Park are a big draw, and the private tracts that border public land are often the first ones hunters and cabin buyers ask about.
Work and land use in Obion County
Of the 617 establishments the Census Bureau counted in Obion County for 2022, the biggest groups were retail trade, other services, and health care and social assistance. Relative to the U.S. as a whole, Obion County is heavy on food manufacturing, building material and garden supply dealers, and motor vehicle and parts dealers. Small acreage near South Fulton can appeal to buyers who work at the county's plants and want room outside town.
Reading property lines on the Obion County GIS map
Parcel boundaries on the Obion County viewer are drawn to keep tax accounts straight, so small offsets from the true line are expected. Rural tracts near South Fulton follow metes-and-bounds calls, so their shapes on the map track creeks, roads and old fences. If a neighbor's fence near South Fulton and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
Acreage and vacant lot search
To use the Obion County GIS map for a vacant land search:
- Turn on the photo basemap and work outward from South Fulton one road at a time, flagging parcels with no buildings.
- Open the record for each empty tract near South Fulton and note whether the owner's mailing address is outside Obion County.
- Check that the tract touches a public road; a landlocked lot near South Fulton can be hard to finance and build on.
- Compare the record's land value against similar parcels on the same road out of South Fulton.
- Check the flood layer and ask about septic and permits; open land in Obion County isn't automatically buildable.
For a tract near Woodland Mills with no road frontage, see how to tell if land is landlocked.
Where Obion County deeds and plats are kept
Every line on the Obion County map traces back to a recorded deed or plat, and the county's recording office keeps those documents. Recording offices go by different titles from state to state, including register of deeds, recorder, county clerk and clerk of court; the official Obion County website names the one that handles deeds. Easements and rights-of-way are usually in recorded documents, not on the parcel map, so read the deed itself for a tract near Cunningham.
Nearby parcel maps

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.
