Planning a hunt near Crenshaw? The Quitman County hunting map is really two maps: public areas from Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks and private lines from the county. What this Quitman County guide covers: state sources for public ground, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and how to ask for permission.
Getting started with the Quitman County hunting map
With a lot near Lambert, start with Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks for public areas, with rules that vary by area.
Pulling up a parcel
Lots and tracts near Coldwater River National Wildlife Refuge appear on the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer, a viewer that needs no account. When a rural tract has no street number, follow US Route 278 on the aerial and click the parcel itself, which applies near Crenshaw as much as anywhere. If you're looking near Lambert, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every clerk in the county uses it to find the file.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Allen, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Falcon keeps working without signal.
Private land and parcel lines
Private boundaries come from the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer, so you can see who owns the land near Coldwater River National Wildlife Refuge.
Asking for permission
For a tract near Crowder, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Sections, lots and bearings
Mississippi is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Crowder reference sections and townships. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Coldwater River National Wildlife Refuge odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Darling for any title or survey request.
Being a good guest
Leave gates as you found them on land near Barksdale, and tell someone where you'll be; it keeps permission coming back.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Quitman County touches Coahoma County, Panola County, Tallahatchie County, and Tunica County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Darling may be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map as well. For a parcel near Birdie, our state page lists every neighboring county map for Mississippi.
Offices that can help
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Lambert are with the Chancery Clerk, usually searchable by name or document number. Questions about what you can build around Belen are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Quitman County in a few facts
Marks is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Crenshaw, Crowder, Falcon, and Lambert. Roughly 5,546 people call Quitman County home (Census estimate, 2023) on some 405 square miles. Quitman County dates to 1877, and some chains of title near Darling are long. Landmarks such as Coldwater River National Wildlife Refuge help you orient on the aerial.
What the map can't tell you
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on land around Falcon. For acreage around Crenshaw, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Reading terrain
Switch to aerial imagery near Allen, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; then confirm whose land each feature is on.
The paper trail behind a parcel
In and around Birdie, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the Chancery Clerk. Inherited tracts around Sledge can go back through many deeds, so a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Regulations to check
Check Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks for seasons and licensing, and know your state's trespass rules for land around Coldwater River National Wildlife Refuge.

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.
