Tracking down a Greene County plat book
For a parcel near Crucible, a plat book is a privately published atlas, with owner names on each tract, usually township by township.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the Greene County parcel viewer; it covers every tax parcel around Bobtown and Clarksville. Out toward Waynesburg, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. If the land is near Jefferson, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; each clerk in the county asks for it first.
Where the recorded documents are
When the details count, get the recorded deed through the Recorder of Deeds; the viewer just points to it, and that holds around Dry Tavern too. For a home near Dry Tavern, have ready the book and page from the tax record and the lookup takes minutes.
Buying or borrowing a copy
Editions come and go depending on publishers, check with local offices and farm stores near Bobtown.

Neighboring parcel maps

Before you lean on the lines

Atlas or legal document
