Scouting ground near Scobey for the coming season? A useful Yalobusha County hunting map combines two sources: state-managed land plus the county's parcel boundaries. In this Yalobusha County guide: state sources for public ground, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and getting landowner permission the right way.
Building your Yalobusha County hunting map
In and around Holly Springs National Forest, Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks publishes the public-land maps, including wildlife management areas and other access programs where they exist.
Getting to the right map
For land near Holly Springs National Forest, the no-cost parcel map for this area is the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer, and anyone can open it without signing up. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow Interstate 55 on the aerial and click the parcel itself. For a parcel near Coffeeville, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each office in the county asks for it first.
Private land and parcel lines
Private boundaries come from the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer, with owner names for tracts near Tillatoba.
Yalobusha County in a few facts
Coffeeville serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Water Valley, Oakland, Tillatoba, and Scobey. Around 12,386 people call Yalobusha County home (Census estimate, 2023) across about 467 square miles. Yalobusha County was organized in 1834, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Features like Holly Springs National Forest make handy reference points on the map.
Reading the legal description
Mississippi uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Coffeeville is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Water Valley vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near Coffeeville before you request a deed or survey.
Being a good guest
Leave gates as you found them on land near Tillatoba, and tell someone where you'll be; it keeps permission coming back.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Coffeeville belong with the County Tax Assessor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Questions about what you can build around Water Valley need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Coffeeville, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Tillatoba is a good backup.
Neighboring parcel maps
Yalobusha County borders Calhoun County, Grenada County, Lafayette County, Panola County, and Tallahatchie County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground near Oakland that runs to the line may show up across two assessors' files, so check the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. Around Holly Springs National Forest, our state page lists each bordering county map across Mississippi.
Contacting owners
The parcel record near Water Valley gives the owner and a mailing address; a polite letter or visit before the season works best.
Regulations to check
Check Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks for seasons and licensing, and trespass rules differ by state wherever you hunt near Water Valley.
Where the recorded documents are
For land near Coffeeville, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the Chancery Clerk. For land near Water Valley, have ready the document number from the tax record to skip a name search.
What the map can't tell you
If you're looking near Oakland, the acreage figure is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on the ground. For a home near Scobey, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Aerial scouting
Switch to aerial imagery near Scobey, travel corridors and edges stand out; then confirm whose land each feature is on.
