When a deed near Philadelphia says lot and block, you'll need the Farragut plat map to make sense of it. Covered here for Farragut: where to request a copy, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
The Farragut plat map: start here
For a lot in Farragut, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the Tennessee Property Viewer; it includes each assessed parcel in the county, Philadelphia included. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, whether the land is near Loudon or elsewhere in the county. For property near Greenback, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
How land is described here
Older tracts around Greenback are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Platted lots around Greenback are typically described by lot and block, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Lenoir City before you request a deed or survey.
Loudon County in a few facts
Loudon holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Lenoir City, Greenback, and Philadelphia, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 60,591 people call Loudon County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across about 229 square miles. Loudon County was formed in 1870, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Features like Little Tennessee River make handy reference points on the map near Philadelphia.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Loudon, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Greenback and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Where Farragut fits in
Farragut lies within Loudon County, Tennessee, and the county assessor maps its lots. For acreage around Philadelphia, City or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits toward Greenback generally answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
When there's no plat
Acreage around Lenoir City outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Loudon County borders Blount County, Knox County, McMinn County, Monroe County, and Roane County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Greenback can be split in two county records, so open the adjacent map too. For a parcel near Greenback, our state page links every bordering county map for Tennessee.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Greenback are kept by the Register of Deeds. Older tracts near Greenback may sit on several deeds, so a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.
What the map can't tell you
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so a tree line near Greenback often sits a few yards off the line on screen. For a parcel near Lenoir City, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
How a plat differs from the tax map
When the two disagree for a lot near Loudon, trust the recorded documents over the GIS layer.

Reading the plat sheet

Requesting the plat

Lots near Loudon can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, so check for later filings; street vacations show up in the records too.
