Want a copy of the Wilkinson County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, and it's handy for land around Rosetta. This Wilkinson County guide covers: what's in a plat book, where to look for printed copies, and how the county viewer fills the gaps.
The Wilkinson County plat book: start here
With a lot near Centreville, a plat book is a privately published atlas, with owner names on each tract, often organized by township.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Property in and around Woodville are published on the Wilkinson County ArcGIS parcel map, which opens without registering. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along the nearest road until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, whether the land is near Pinckneyville or elsewhere in the county. For a parcel near Clark Creek Natural Area, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
A homemade atlas
Screenshot each section of the viewer around Fort Adams and keep them in a binder for the truck.
Recorded documents worth pulling
When the details count, pull the recorded deed from the Chancery Clerk; the viewer just points to it, and that holds around Clark Creek Natural Area too. With a lot near Homochitto National Forest, inherited tracts in the county may trace back through many deeds, and a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
Sections, lots and bearings
Mississippi is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Clark Creek Natural Area reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Centreville odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Centreville before you request a deed or survey.
Getting your bearings
Woodville serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. Smaller places on the map include Centreville, Crosby, Doloroso, and Fort Adams, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 8,058 people live in this county (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 678 square miles, at least around Fort Adams. Wilkinson County was organized in 1802, so old deeds can run back a long way. Places such as Clark Creek Natural Area and Homochitto National Forest make handy reference points on the map.
What the map can't tell you
If you're looking near Clark Creek Natural Area, listed acreage is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor sets the real lines on the ground. For a tract near Clark Creek Natural Area, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Land on the county line
The county borders Concordia Parish, LA, East Feliciana Parish, LA, West Feliciana Parish, LA, Adams County, and Amite County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map for land near Rosetta. Ground near Clark Creek Natural Area that runs to the line may be split in two county records, so look at the adjacent map too. For property near Possum Corner, our state page links every bordering county map for Mississippi.
Getting answers from the right desk
Recorded documents for a parcel near Doloroso come from the Chancery Clerk, often with an online index. Building or septic questions for a lot near Rosetta are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Woodville, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Clark Creek Natural Area keeps working without signal.
Buying or borrowing a copy
Editions come and go depending on publishers, check with local offices and farm stores near Woodville.
Between editions
Between printed editions, the Wilkinson County ArcGIS parcel map shows current owners, for tracts near Centreville.
Not the same thing
For a tract near Homochitto National Forest, 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.
Common uses
Farmers, hunters and appraisers near Doloroso use plat books to see ownership across many tracts at once.
