Planning a hunt near Runnelstown? Think of the Perry County hunting map as two layers: public areas from Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks and private lines from the county. This Perry County guide covers: state sources for public ground, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and how to ask for permission.
Getting started with the Perry County hunting map
If the land is near New Augusta, Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks publishes the public-land maps, along with seasons and regulations.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer; it includes each assessed parcel from De Soto National Forest to Hintonville. Without an address in hand, follow the nearest road on the aerial and click the parcel itself, for land near De Soto National Forest included. For land near Leaf River Wildlife Management Area, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Perry County meets Forrest County, George County, Greene County, Jones County, and Stone County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Good Hope can show up in two county records, so look at the adjacent map too. For land near Runnelstown, our state page links every bordering county map across Mississippi.
Getting answers from the right desk
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Beaumont come from the Chancery Clerk, usually searchable by name or document number. Building or septic questions for a lot near Richton need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Who owns the ground
Private boundaries come from the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer, so you can see who owns the land near Beaumont.
Getting your bearings
New Augusta holds the county offices, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Beaumont, Richton, Runnelstown, and Corinth. Roughly 11,315 people call Perry County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 647 square miles. Perry County was organized in 1820, so old deeds can run back a long way. Places such as De Soto National Forest make handy reference points on the map.
Being a good guest
Respect livestock and crops around Janice, and tell someone where you'll be; it keeps permission coming back.
Contacting owners
Closer to Janice, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Regulations to check
Check Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks for seasons and licensing, and know your state's trespass rules wherever you hunt near De Soto National Forest.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Runnelstown, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Beaumont and its lines keeps working without signal.
The paper trail behind a parcel
For anything that matters, pull the recorded deed through the Chancery Clerk; the viewer just points to it, which applies near Black Creek Wilderness as much as anywhere. Out toward Black Creek Wilderness, have ready the book and page from the tax record to skip a name search.
Reading the legal description
Mississippi follows the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Good Hope is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Good Hope can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Corinth when you talk to a surveyor.
Reading terrain
On the aerial around New Augusta, travel corridors and edges stand out; then confirm whose land each feature is on.
Before you lean on the lines
On ground around Runnelstown, listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on the ground. For a home near Richton, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.

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.
