01

Locate the parcel within New Madrid County

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in New Madrid County. The county includes 15 listed community geographies; a nearby community name does not prove the parcel is inside its limits.

02

03

Check the route, beyond North Lilbourn
