The free map to start with

On ground around Wallburg, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. If the land is near Midway, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
City limits and county records
Lexington lies within Davidson County, North Carolina, and the county assessor maps its lots. Lexington is also the county seat, which puts the Register of Deeds close by. With a lot near High Point, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits toward Denton generally follows county rules instead.
Reading the owner field

Platted lots around Midway are typically described by lot and block, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Thomasville before you request a deed or survey.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on land around Denton. On ground around Midway, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
