When a deed near Hampton says lot and block, the Locust Grove plat map is where those numbers come from. In this Locust Grove guide: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
The Locust Grove plat map: start here
For a lot in Locust Grove, the deed usually cites the plat; that makes the request quick.
The free map to start with
Go first to the Henry County qPublic map; it maps each assessed parcel in the county, McDonough included. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, which applies near Hampton as much as anywhere. Closer to Hampton, save the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county asks for it first.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Stockbridge, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; street vacations near Hampton show up in the records too.
City limits and county records
Locust Grove is part of Henry County, Georgia, so its parcels are on the county's map. For a tract near Hampton, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Lots just outside the town limits toward Hampton usually follows county rules instead.
How land is described here
Rural deeds near Stockbridge are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Town lots near Hampton are typically described by lot and block, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Hampton for any title or survey request.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
The tax map on the Henry County qPublic map is a summary, but the recorded plat is what the deed relies on.
What a plat shows
If you're looking near Stockbridge, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Using it on a phone
