Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Walthall County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every assessed parcel in the county, Tylertown included. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road and select the outline, whether the land is near Sartinville or elsewhere in the county.

Where to look for one

When a parcel crosses a boundary

Backing up the map with records

For a parcel near Tylertown, a plat book is not a recorded plat: the recorded plat at the Chancery Clerk is a legal document, and the atlas is just a guide.

Before you lean on the lines
