Plat books vs. recorded plats in Murray County
Think of the Murray County plat book as a bound, printed version of ownership: township pages, owner names on each tract, and road maps for places like Chatsworth. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Chatsworth; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
