What a Hawkins County plat book is
Think of the Hawkins County plat book as a bound, printed version of ownership: township pages, owner names on each tract, and road maps for places like Mount Carmel. It's different from a recorded plat, which is the official survey drawing for a subdivision in Bean Station filed with the county.
