On site with the map

What the map can't tell you
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary for a parcel near Auburntown. In and around Bradyville, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Using the parcel viewer instead
Between printed editions, the Tennessee Property Viewer shows current owners, across the county, which applies near Auburntown as much as anywhere.
