Want a copy of the Montgomery County plat book? A plat book shows owners and tract lines on township pages, and it's handy for land around Ailey. This county guide covers: how the atlas is organized, where to find editions, and how the county viewer fills the gaps, especially near Higgston.
The Montgomery County plat book: start here
Closer to Kibbee, a plat book is a privately published atlas, with owner names on each tract, usually township by township.
Getting to the right map
Parcels around Tarrytown can be looked up on the Montgomery County qPublic map, free to use and open without a login. With a lot near Ailey, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. If the land is near Mount Vernon, copy the parcel ID before closing the panel; each clerk in the county uses it to find the file.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Montgomery County borders Jeff Davis County, Toombs County, Treutlen County, and Wheeler County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Tarrytown that runs to the line can show up across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map as well. For a tract near Charlotteville, the Platbookmapper state page links each neighboring county map across Georgia.
A quick look at the area
Mount Vernon serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Ailey, Uvalda, Alston, and Higgston, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 8,761 people live in Montgomery County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 241 square miles. Montgomery County was organized in 1793, which matters when you trace an old farm's title.

Why people still buy them
Buyers and seed dealers around Tarrytown rely on them to see ownership across many tracts at once.
Finding a printed edition
Not every county has a current edition, so ask at the courthouse, extension office or a local library near Ailey.
Sections, lots and bearings
Tracts outside towns near Uvalda are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Town lots near Ailey are typically described by lot and block, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Charlotteville before you request a deed or survey.
The paper trail behind a parcel
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed from the Clerk of Superior Court; the viewer just points to it, for land near Kibbee included. If you're looking near Higgston, bring the book and page shown in the record panel so staff can find the deed fast.
Getting answers from the right desk
For assessment questions about property around Alston belong with the county Board of Tax Assessors, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Tarrytown go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Between editions
Between printed editions, the Montgomery County qPublic map shows current owners, across the county.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Kibbee, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Charlotteville with its ID is a good backup.
A word on accuracy
If you're looking near Charlotteville, the acreage figure is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on the ground. In and around Uvalda, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Plat book vs. recorded plat
For a parcel near Alston, a plat book is not a recorded plat: the recorded plat at the Clerk of Superior Court is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
