When a deed near Ravenden Springs says lot and block, you'll need the Pocahontas plat map to make sense of it. This Pocahontas guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Tracking down the Pocahontas plat map
For land around Ravenden Springs, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; use it to request a copy.
The viewer Randolph County publishes
Go first to the Randolph County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every assessed parcel in the county, Ravenden Springs included. If the land is near Biggers, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For a tract near Biggers, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
