Getting oriented in Union County
Parcel searches in Union County tend to center on New Albany, the county seat, plus Myrtle, Sherman, and Blue Springs. Don't overlook unincorporated places like Alpine, Enterprise, and Etta, where rural homesites often come up. The county was organized in 1870, so some tracts carry a long chain of deeds. The county's land area is about 416 square miles, and the Census Bureau estimated 28,284 residents there in 2023. It's a middle-density county, so the map shifts from small platted lots near Blue Springs to farm and wooded tracts within a few miles. On the parcel layer, Holly Springs National Forest shows up as public ground, and the private tracts along its edges are worth checking line by line.
Search by owner, address or parcel number
Go straight to the Union County ArcGIS parcel map. The county hosts it on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and there's no sign-in. Once parcel lines appear, click any tract near New Albany to see who owns it and how many acres the county records. We track the link on our Union County directory page, so check there if it stops loading.
Are the Union County property lines accurate?
Use the Union County plat map to identify a parcel and its neighbors. Don't use it to decide where a fence, driveway or addition can go. Square-ish tracts around Blue Springs are no accident: Mississippi land was surveyed into sections, and deeds still describe land that way. For walking the corners yourself, our guide to finding property corners helps; for a legal answer, call a Mississippi licensed surveyor.
Land records: deeds, plats and parcel data
Need a deed for land near Jugfork? In Mississippi that means the chancery clerk; the parcel map is the index that points you there. In Union County, the chancery clerk is the custodian of land records, from deeds and deeds of trust to plats and liens. Easements and rights-of-way are usually in recorded documents, not on the parcel map, so read the deed itself for a tract near Jugfork.
Using the Union County plat map to find vacant land
A vacant-land search near Sherman, step by step:
- Zoom out over the countryside around New Albany with the aerial layer on, and look for parcels with no structures.
- Build a short list of open parcels around New Albany with owner names and acreage before you make any calls.
- Confirm legal access. In Union County, as anywhere, a parcel with no road frontage depends on an easement.
- Compare the record's land value against similar parcels on the same road out of New Albany.
- For a tract near Sherman, confirm zoning, septic suitability and flood status before you make an offer.

Who's clicking on Union County parcels
Here's who tends to use it in Union County. For hobby-farm buyers near New Albany, the parcel map shows how a tract sits against its neighbors and the road. Anyone hunting for a buildable lot near Blue Springs can spot unbuilt parcels on the aerial layer and look up who owns them. Hunters near Myrtle 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 Myrtle can scan the map for vacant parcels in already-platted subdivisions.
Private and public hunting ground in Union County
Hunters working the country toward the Lafayette County line can use the parcel map to put a name on every woodlot and field. Hunters headed to Holly Springs National Forest should check where the public boundary ends; the tracts beyond it are private. For licenses, seasons and public hunting land, go to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks. A landowner near Jugfork is more likely to say yes to a hunter who names the exact parcel and offers a phone number.
Work and land use in Union County
The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 537 business establishments in Union County in 2022, and the largest groups were retail trade, other services, and accommodation and food services. The local economy leans harder than average on transportation equipment manufacturing, furniture manufacturing, and warehousing and storage. Where a tract near New Albany has highway or rail access, expect commercial and farm buyers to take an interest.
Two things the map won't tell you
A lot in Blue Springs that sold last month may still show the previous owner on the map. For a rural tract near Jugfork, get acreage from a survey, not the tax record, if it matters for a deal.

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.
