The printed Greene County plat book and the online parcel map answer the same question, who owns the land near Barboursville, in different ways. This guide covers finding a printed edition for Greene County, Virginia, and using the free parcel map in the meantime.
What's inside a county plat book
Think of the Greene County plat book as a bound, printed version of ownership: township pages, owner names on each tract, and road maps for places like Dyke. Deeds and recorded plats, not the atlas, still govern land near Barboursville in the county.
Opening the Greene County parcel viewer
The county's own public map is the Greene County webGIS parcel viewer, built on a county webGIS parcel viewer, and it opens without an account for parcels in Stanardsville and the rest of the county. Use the search box for an address in Stanardsville or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a tract close to Dawsonville. For a backup route to the map covering Dawsonville, our Greene County directory entry keeps the link current.
Where Greene County plat books turn up
Try the library in Burtonville or a local historical society for older Greene County editions; libraries sometimes keep past atlases for reference. Collectors and genealogists prize old Greene County atlases since they show farm names and owners near Barboursville long before online maps.
What a plat book page lists near Dawsonville
Many atlases add rural residence listings and road maps, handy on back roads near Barboursville. Small parcels and town lots in Dawsonville are frequently too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. For a land purchase near Amicus, rely on the county parcel record and a title search, not an atlas.
Editions, deeds and printouts
