Planning a hunt near Byrdstown? The Pickett County hunting map is really two maps: state-managed land plus the county's parcel boundaries. What this county guide covers: where public hunting land is mapped, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and how to ask for permission, especially near Byrdstown.
Building your Pickett County hunting map
On ground around Cedar Grove, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency publishes the public-land maps, along with seasons and regulations.
The free map to start with
With a lot near Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, the public parcel map for this area is the Tennessee Property Viewer, and no login is needed to use it. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow US Route 127 on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, and that holds around Love Lady too. For a tract near Love Lady, copy the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county uses it to find the file.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Obey River, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Byrdstown and its lines keeps working without signal.
Places you'll see on the map
Byrdstown serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Boom, Cedar Grove, Love Lady, and Midway, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 5,128 people live in Pickett County (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 163 square miles. The county dates to 1879, and some chains of title near Love Lady are long. Landmarks such as Wolf River, Obey River, and Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area help you orient on the aerial around Obey River.
Private land and parcel lines
The Tennessee Property Viewer shows private parcel lines, so you can see who owns the land near Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.
Reading terrain
On the aerial around Midway, travel corridors and edges stand out; match each spot to its parcel.
Reading the legal description
Older tracts around Love Lady are often described by metes and bounds, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Platted lots around Moodyville refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Write down the legal description for the tract near Love Lady when you talk to a surveyor.
Finding a landowner
Tell the owner near Love Lady what you'd hunt, when and with whom, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Regulations to check
Check Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency for seasons and licensing, and trespass rules differ by state for land around Cedar Grove.
Safety and courtesy
Respect livestock and crops around Moodyville, and tell someone where you'll be; owners remember good guests.
The paper trail behind a parcel
When the details count, get the recorded deed from the Register of Deeds; the viewer just points to it, and that holds around Wolf River too. With a lot near Love Lady, inherited tracts in the county can trace back through many deeds, so a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Limits of the parcel data
Near Love Lady, acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on the ground. Closer to Boom, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Which office to call
Recorded documents for a parcel near Cedar Grove are with the Register of Deeds, usually searchable by name or document number. Questions about what you can build around Boom go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
