Plat books vs. recorded plats in Colquitt County
A plat book, sometimes called a land atlas, shows each township in Colquitt County as a page, with ownership blocks labeled by owner name and approximate acreage.

Colquitt County publishes its parcels on the Colquitt County qPublic map, which runs on Schneider Geospatial's qPublic platform, free to use for a lot in Moultrie or a tract near Doerun. In the county version, the search page takes an owner, an address or a parcel ID, and each report links back to the map view for the tract near Moultrie. For a backup route to the map covering Doerun, our Colquitt County directory entry keeps the link current.
Finding a printed Colquitt County plat book
