Property lines in Lincoln County, Tennessee
Zoom in far enough on a lot in Petersburg and you may notice lines crossing driveways or splitting sheds, a normal quirk of tax mapping. In Lincoln County, a rural deed may describe a line running to a creek, a stone or a neighbor's corner, which is why the map lines wander. For rural ground near Park City, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
Where Lincoln County deeds and plats are kept
For land near Petersburg, the parcel record is the index; the recorded deed is the source. Check the county government website to see which office records deeds for land near Park City. The parcel record often lists a deed book and page or an instrument number, which is how you request a copy of the recorded deed for a tract near Petersburg.

Using the Lincoln County GIS map to find vacant land
