Regarding land records for Calhoun County, Mississippi:

The courthouse in Calhoun County burned on December 22, 1922 and all records were destroyed with the exception of five books of land abstracts.

The five books of land abstracts begin in the year 1852 when the county was created and are housed in the office of the Chancery Clerk in Pittsboro with transcribed copies.

Calhoun County was created on March 8, 1852 from the counties of Lafayette, Yalobusha, and Chickasaw, therefore, if you are interested in land records prior to 1852, you will need to visit the courthouses of Lafayette, Yalobusha, and Chickasaw.

The above information was taken from the following webpage and I am assuming the information to be accurate, as I am not familiar with Calhoun County. The webpage may be very helpful to you. Here is the link:

According to the Calhoun County Journal, the courthouse in Calhoun County is presently being renovated and the office of the Chancery Clerk has temporarily moved out of the courthouse and across the Pittsboro Square next door to Pittsboro Town Hall.
