Getting to the right map
Parcels around Walls appear on the DeSoto County ArcGIS parcel map, free to use and open without a login. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along Interstate 269 until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. Closer to Hernando, copy the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county asks for it first.

Finding the right lot

When a parcel crosses a boundary
DeSoto County meets Crittenden County, AR, Marshall County, Tate County, Tunica County, and Shelby County, TN, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground near Walls that runs to the line can show up across two assessors' files, so check the adjacent map too.
