How to use the Tishomingo County GIS map
Open the Tishomingo County ArcGIS parcel map (built on an Esri ArcGIS web map); it is the county's own published map. Once parcel lines appear, click any tract near Paden to see who owns it and how many acres the county records. We keep the link current on our Tishomingo County (MS) directory page, next to the neighboring maps.
Property lines in Tishomingo County, Mississippi
Parcel boundaries on the Tishomingo County viewer are drawn to keep tax accounts straight, so small offsets from the true line are expected. Mississippi uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural deeds in Tishomingo County often describe land by section, township and range, and you can match the call to the grid on the map. For a fence, an addition or a dispute in Tishomingo County, budget for a licensed survey; it's the answer a court or a lender will accept.
What the map covers, from Iuka to the back roads
Iuka is the county seat, and other towns on the map include Belmont, Burnsville, Golden, and Tishomingo. Unincorporated spots like Dennis, Bloody Springs, and Doskie are worth a look if you want rural acreage near a crossroads community. Founded in 1836, the county has land records that reach back a long way, which helps when you trace a title. Tishomingo County covers about 424 square miles of land; its 2023 population estimate from the Census Bureau was 18,507. Most of the land area is agricultural or wooded, and the parcel lines get bigger and more irregular as you move away from Belmont. Waterfront and bottomland parcels near the Tennessee River, Pickwick Lake, and Bay Springs Lake deserve a second look at the flood layer. Public land in or near the county, including Tishomingo State Park, changes how nearby private land sells.
Private and public hunting ground in Tishomingo County
The woods between Burnsville and Midway can look like one block from the road, but the parcel layer often shows several owners. Public options include Tishomingo State Park; check the boundaries carefully, because private inholdings and neighboring tracts aren't open to the public. Before hunting around Golden, read the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks's current season rules. In the field near Burnsville, respect posted signs and painted boundaries even where the map line looks different.
Behind the map: land records in Tishomingo County
For land near Burnsville, the chancery clerk holds the recorded documents, and the parcel map reflects them once they're processed for taxes. In Tishomingo County, the chancery clerk is the custodian of land records, from deeds and deeds of trust to plats and liens. Rural tracts near Midway may go back through several deeds; the instrument number on the record is the first link in that chain.
Who uses the Tishomingo County parcel map
Small-farm and homestead buyers looking around Midway compare tract sizes and shapes on the map before calling a listing agent. Folks shopping for raw land click through empty parcels near Belmont, note the owners, and send letters. Hunters near Iuka check the lines before opening day so a blood trail or a retrieve doesn't cross onto a neighbor's ground uninvited. A small builder looking for spec lots around Iuka can scan the map for vacant parcels in already-platted subdivisions.
Data limits to keep in mind
If a tract near Golden changed hands recently, the recorded deed is more current than the map. For a rural tract near Midway, get acreage from a survey, not the tax record, if it matters for a deal.
Acreage and vacant lot search

- With imagery on, zoom to the edge of Paden where subdivisions give way to open ground.
- Click each empty tract near Midway and note the owner, acreage and mailing address.
- Trace the frontage on any tract near Midway; without it, access depends on a recorded easement.
- Assessed values lag the market, but comparing tracts near Midway still shows which ones the county rates higher.
- Last, call the Tishomingo County planning or health office about permits, septic and floodplain before you commit.

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.
