Buying a lot in a subdivision near Screven? What you want is the Jesup plat map, because the recorded plat shows how the land was divided. What this Jesup guide covers: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Who keeps the Jesup plat map
For a subdivision near Screven, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; use it to request a copy.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the Wayne County qPublic map; it includes each assessed parcel in the county, Screven included. Out toward Odum, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For acreage around Odum, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Wayne County in a few facts
Jesup serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Odum and Screven, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 31,373 people call Wayne County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on roughly 642 square miles. Wayne County dates to 1803, and some chains of title near Screven are long.
Legal descriptions in Georgia
Older tracts around Screven are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Platted lots around Odum usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Screven when you talk to a surveyor.
Jesup and the county around it
Jesup sits in Wayne County, Georgia, which means parcel data comes from the county. Jesup is also the county seat, so deeds and plats are filed in town. On ground around Odum, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits out by Screven often answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Plat map vs. parcel map
The tax map on the Wayne County qPublic map is a summary, while the recorded plat is the legal document.

When there's no plat

For assessment questions about property around Odum belong with the county Board of Tax Assessors, since that office keeps the assessment data. Building or septic questions for a lot near Screven are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Getting a copy

Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Screven are filed with the Clerk of Superior Court. For property near Odum, have ready the document number shown in the record panel so staff can find the deed fast.
Land on the county line
Wayne County meets Appling County, Brantley County, Glynn County, Long County, and McIntosh County, all with their own assessor records.

What the map can't tell you
