Between Elkton and Pulaski the map alternates between platted subdivisions and open farm or wooded tracts.

Acreage and vacant lot search
How to work the Giles County tax map for open land:
- Zoom out over the countryside around Minor Hill with the aerial layer on, and look for parcels with no structures.
- Open the record for each empty tract near Minor Hill and note whether the owner's mailing address is outside Giles County.

- Pull up three or four similar parcels near Ardmore and compare their land values.
- Last, call the Giles County planning or health office about permits, septic and floodplain before you commit.

Property lines in Giles County, Tennessee
Zoom in far enough on a lot in Elkton and you may notice lines crossing driveways or splitting sheds, a normal quirk of tax mapping. In Giles County, a rural deed may describe a line running to a creek, a stone or a neighbor's corner, which is why the map lines wander. For rural ground near Aymett Town, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
Where Giles County deeds and plats are kept
For land near Ardmore, the parcel record is the index; the recorded deed is the source. The office title varies by state (register of deeds, recorder, county clerk or clerk of court), so check the Giles County government website for the right one. If you need a plat for a lot in Pulaski, look for the plat book and page or the subdivision name in the parcel record, then request that document from the recording office.
