Getting started with the West Point GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, which makes the Clay County ArcGIS parcel map the main source for lots in West Point.
The free map to start with
Begin with the Clay County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every tax parcel around Abbott and Pheba. For a parcel near Abbott, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For property near Pheba, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
City limits and county records
West Point sits in Clay County, Mississippi, and the county assessor maps its lots. West Point is also the county seat, which puts the Chancery Clerk close by. Local government in the town handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, while the county keeps the tax map around Pheba. Lots just outside the town limits near Abbott usually falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
Which office to call
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Abbott are with the Chancery Clerk, usually searchable by name or document number. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Abbott go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Before you lean on the lines
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near Abbott can sit several feet off the line on screen. For a tract near Pheba, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Searching the map
For a house around Pheba, search the street address; owner names are usually entered last name first. For a tract near Abbott, searching by parcel number never misses, and it carries over to every office in the county.

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.
