When a deed near Tega Cay says lot and block, the Clover plat map is where those numbers come from. What this Clover guide covers: where to request a copy, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Getting started with the Clover plat map

The viewer York County publishes
Lots and tracts near McConnells appear on the York County ArcGIS parcel map, which opens without registering. Around McConnells, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. Out toward Tega Cay, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
How land is described here
Rural deeds near McConnells are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Town lots near Rock Hill usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Write down the legal description for the tract near York when you talk to a surveyor.
When there's no plat

Clover, SC: the basics
Clover sits in York County, South Carolina, which means parcel data comes from the county.
