Looking for places to hunt around Delta National Forest? Think of the Sharkey County hunting map as two layers: state-managed land plus the county's parcel boundaries. What this Sharkey County guide covers: where public hunting land is mapped, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and getting landowner permission the right way.
Getting started with the Sharkey County hunting map
For a home near Panther Burn, start with Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks for public areas, with rules that vary by area.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Sharkey County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every tax parcel around Panther Burn and Issaquena. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow the nearest road on the aerial and select the outline, which applies near Delta City as much as anywhere. If you're looking near Egremont, save the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county will want it.
Private land and parcel lines
Private boundaries come from the Sharkey County ArcGIS parcel map, with owner names for tracts near Egremont.
What the map can't tell you
Out toward Delta National Forest, acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on the ground. For property near Nitta Yuma, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
A quick look at the area
Rolling Fork is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Anguilla, Cary, Delta City, and Nitta Yuma. About 3,336 people call Sharkey County home (Census estimate, 2023) on about 432 square miles. Sharkey County was formed in 1876, and some chains of title near Rolling Fork are long. Features like Delta National Forest help you orient on the aerial.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Panther Burn, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Nitta Yuma with its ID keeps working without signal.
Finding a landowner
For property near Issaquena, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Reading terrain
On the aerial around Panther Burn, travel corridors and edges stand out; then confirm whose land each feature is on.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge belong with the County Tax Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Nitta Yuma need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
The paper trail behind a parcel
With a lot near Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the Chancery Clerk. In and around Delta City, bring the instrument number from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
Good habits afield
Leave gates as you found them on land near Nitta Yuma, and carry the owner's contact info; it keeps permission coming back.
How land is described here
Mississippi is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Rolling Fork cite section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Rolling Fork can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Egremont when you talk to a surveyor.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
The county touches Humphreys County, Issaquena County, Washington County, and Yazoo County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Nitta Yuma that runs to the line may show up in two county records, so look at the neighboring map as well. For property near Panther Burn, the Platbookmapper state page lists every bordering county map across Mississippi.
Regulations to check
Check Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks for seasons and licensing, and trespass rules differ by state for land around Delta National Forest.
