You can locate the property from the legal land description found on the deed. You can search for the deed at the Mississippi Archives in Jackson. Once you have found the deed and the legal description, you can locate the property. One way to do this is through Google Earth.

You also need a basic knowledge of the Public Land Survey System. You can find much more information about all of this on the internet. Good luck in your search.
