Richmond County at a glance: towns and land
Start your bearings with Augusta, the county seat, then Blythe, Hephzibah, and Fort Gordon. The county was organized in 1777 and named for Charles Lennox, 3rd Duke of Richmond, so some tracts carry a long chain of deeds. The Census Bureau puts Richmond County at about 324 square miles of land and an estimated 205,414 people (2023). Around Fort Gordon and Augusta nearly every click lands on a platted lot, so the few remaining open parcels are easy to pick out.
How to use the Richmond County GIS map
The official map is the Richmond County qPublic map, which runs on Schneider Geospatial's qPublic platform. Search an Augusta address or an owner name on the search page, then jump to the map view to see that parcel's lines. Our Richmond County listing carries the same link plus neighboring maps.
How accurate are Richmond County, GA property lines?
A lot line on the Richmond County GIS map near Fort Gordon is a drawing based on deeds, not a measurement taken on site. Tracts near Fort Gordon are often described by land lot and district, and those lot lines still show through on the parcel map. For rural ground near Hephzibah, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
Where Richmond County deeds and plats are kept
The paper trail for a tract near Augusta lives with the Clerk of Superior Court; the map itself is an assessment product. Georgia's GSCCCA index lets you search Richmond County deeds and plats alongside other counties, a help when a chain of title crosses county lines. When the chain of title matters for land near Augusta, ask for the full deed history or hire a title company in Georgia.
