The printed Tunica County plat book and the online parcel map answer the same question, who owns the land near Austin, in different ways. This guide covers finding a printed edition for Tunica County, Mississippi, and using the free parcel map in the meantime.
What's inside a county plat book
Private publishers compile plat books from county records, so a county edition is a snapshot of who owned land near Austin the year it was printed. Deeds and recorded plats, not the atlas, still govern land near Dundee in the county.
The county map you'll pair it with
There's no separate Tunica County parcel site to hunt for; the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer carries the county's parcels along with the rest of Mississippi. Most people locate their Tunica County tract fastest by searching an address in Dundee, then clicking the outline. If the official address for the Tunica County, MS map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for North Tunica and the rest of the county.
Where Tunica County plat books turn up
Private publishers have printed plat books for many rural counties, but editions for Tunica County come and go; inquire at the courthouse, the extension office or a farm supply store in Austin. Older editions are useful for family history around Dundee, showing who held a farm decades ago.
Current owners without a printed book
The MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer works as a living Tunica County plat book, with owner names and parcel lines over aerial photos of Tunica County. Pair the county map with a road atlas for the back roads near Dundee.
The lay of the land around Tunica
Tunica is the seat of Tunica County and the hub for its land records. Unincorporated communities in the county, including Austin, Dundee, and North Tunica, display up as small groups of parcels along the roads. Roughly 454 square miles of land and about 9,234 residents (2023 estimate) make up Tunica County. Beyond the town lots in North Tunica, expect big rural parcels across the county. Tunica County was organized in 1836, so deeds for older farms near Dundee can run back a long way.
Atlas details and limits
Many atlases add rural residence listings and road maps, handy on back roads near Dundee. Small parcels and town lots in Austin are often too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. If you use a plat book for hunting permission near Austin, recheck the titleholder on the county map first.
