Reading the legal description

Before you lean on the lines

Taxes on the record
Many records show assessed value and taxes for land near Plymouth; the county assessment office sets values and the treasurer or collector bills taxes.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Plymouth are kept by the Recorder of Deeds. Long-held tracts near Warrior Run can sit on many deeds, so a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Larksville, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Ashley is a good backup.
