Tracking down the Munford plat map
For a subdivision near Gilt Edge, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; use it to request a copy.
The free map to start with
Your first stop is the Tennessee Property Viewer; it covers every tax parcel in the county, Brighton included. For property near Atoka, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. Out toward Covington, copy the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
Before you lean on the lines
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a fence near Atoka often sits a few yards off the line on screen. Out toward Burlison, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Land on the county line
Tipton County touches Crittenden County, AR, Mississippi County, AR, Fayette County, Haywood County, and Lauderdale County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Burlison can show up across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. For land near Gilt Edge, our state page lists each neighboring county map for Tennessee.
Munford, TN: the basics
Munford is part of Tipton County, Tennessee, and the county assessor maps its lots. If you're looking near Gilt Edge, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the city limits out by Burlison usually answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Tipton County in a few facts
Covington is the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Atoka, Brighton, Gilt Edge, and Burlison, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 62,015 people live in Tipton County (Census estimate, 2023) on some 456 square miles. Tipton County dates to 1823, and some chains of title near Burlison are long.
Metes and bounds instead
Rural land near Atoka that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; look for a recorded survey for land near Garland.
Sections, lots and bearings
Older tracts around Brighton commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Subdivision lots in Atoka usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Write down the legal description for the tract near Garland before you request a deed or survey.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
If the land is near Atoka, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the Register of Deeds. For land near Burlison, have ready the document number shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
