A word on accuracy
With a lot near Trimble, acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real lines on the ground. Out toward Trimble, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Where the recorded documents are

Visiting the tract
Walk the land near Fowlkes and look for markers, fences and trails, noting road condition, neighbors and noise; the map won't tell you that.

Mineral and timber rights
In some areas, mineral or timber rights near Trimble can be sold separately, which a title search can uncover.
