The printed Brunswick County plat book and the online parcel map answer the same question, who owns the land near Lawrenceville, in different ways. This guide covers finding a printed edition for Brunswick County, Virginia, and using the free parcel map in the meantime.
How to use the Brunswick County plat book
A plat book, sometimes called a land atlas, shows each township in Brunswick County as a page, with ownership blocks labeled by owner name and rough acreage. It's different from a recorded plat, which is the official survey drawing for a subdivision in Lawrenceville filed with the county.

What a plat book page shows near Lawrenceville
