Deal-breakers to check near Oxford
Before anything else near Four Bridges, confirm the county parcel touches a public road, because the map alone will not display an easement. Then check FEMA's Flood Map Service Center for any part of the piece of ground near Trenton that sits in a mapped flood zone. Ask the county or town office in Trenton if the land can be built on or divided, and ask the health department about septic.
Deeds and plats behind the Butler County map
For land near Oxford, the deed itself lives in the county recording office, and the map is an index to it.
