Hampton, Locust Grove, and Stockbridge fill out the town list, and McDonough is where the county seat sits.

Henry County covers about 319 square miles of land; its 2023 population estimate from the Census Bureau was 254,613.

How to find property lines in Henry County
A lot line on the Henry County GIS map near Stockbridge is a drawing based on deeds, not a measurement taken on site. Georgia describes much of its land by land district and land lot, a system left over from the state's land lotteries, and rural Henry County deeds often cite a land lot number. For a fence, an addition or a dispute in Henry County, budget for a licensed survey; it's the answer a court or a lender will accept.
Vacant land and acreage on the Henry County GIS map
A vacant-land search near Hampton, step by step:
- Scan the imagery around Blacksville; open fields and woodlots with no driveway stand out right away.
- Build a short list of open parcels around McDonough with owner names and acreage before you make any calls.
- Confirm legal access. In Henry County, as anywhere, a parcel with no road frontage depends on an easement.
- Compare the record's land value against similar parcels on the same road out of McDonough.
- Before you sign for land near Stockbridge, check what the local planning and health offices will allow on it.
