Want a copy of the Gordon County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, useful for farms near Cash. This Gordon County guide covers: what's in a plat book, where to look for printed copies, and the free online map that stays current.
The Gordon County plat book: start here
For a tract near Colima, a plat book is a privately published atlas, showing rural owners and tract lines, often organized by township.
The viewer Gordon County publishes
Your first stop is the Gordon County Beacon site; it includes every assessed parcel from Colima to Plainville. When a rural tract has no street number, follow US Route 411 on the aerial and click the parcel itself, for land near Bobo included. For a tract near Bobo, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Backing up the map with records
When the details count, pull the recorded deed through the Clerk of Superior Court; the parcel line is a drawing of it, which applies near Fairmount as much as anywhere. For land near Cash, bring the book and page from the tax record to skip a name search.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Blackwood go to the county Board of Tax Assessors, since that office keeps the assessment data. Questions about what you can build around Colima go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Sections, lots and bearings
Rural deeds near Chattahoochee National Forest are often described by metes and bounds, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Platted lots around Fairmount are typically described by lot and block, making them easier to find. Write down the legal description for the tract near Audubon before you request a deed or survey.
Buying or borrowing a copy
Editions come and go depending on publishers, try the county extension office, recorder's office or library near Chattahoochee National Forest.
Why people still buy them

Before you lean on the lines
With a lot near Bobo, the acreage figure is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real lines on the ground. Out toward Plainville, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Calhoun, though signal can drop in rural spots. A printout of the tract near Fairmount is a good backup.

For current names, use the Gordon County Beacon site, across the county.
Land on the county line
Gordon County touches Bartow County, Cherokee County, Floyd County, Gilmer County, and Murray County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Calhoun can show up in two county records, so check the adjacent map too. For a home near Calhoun, the Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map across Georgia.
Getting your bearings
Calhoun is the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Fairmount, Plainville, Resaca, and Audubon, each with its own cluster of lots. About 59,757 people call Gordon County home (Census estimate, 2023) across some 356 square miles. The county was formed in 1850, which matters when you trace an old farm's title, at least around Fairmount. Landmarks such as Chattahoochee National Forest are easy to spot when you zoom out.
Two kinds of plat
A plat book is not a recorded plat: recorded plats near Calhoun are filed with the Clerk of Superior Court, and the atlas is just a guide.
