When a deed near Buckhead says lot and block, the Richmond Hill plat map is where those numbers come from. In this Richmond Hill guide: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Who keeps the Richmond Hill plat map
For land around Buckhead, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the Bryan County qPublic map; it includes every assessed parcel in the county, Buckhead included. Around Pembroke, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For a tract near Buckhead, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each records desk in the county uses it to find the file.
What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on land around Pembroke. For property near Pembroke, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
When a plat changes
Lots near Buckhead can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Where Richmond Hill fits in
Richmond Hill lies within Bryan County, Georgia, which means parcel data comes from the county. For property near Buckhead, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits near Pembroke generally follows county rules, not municipal ones.
How a plat differs from the tax map
The tax map on the Bryan County qPublic map is a summary, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Buckhead, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Pembroke with its ID is a good backup.
What a plat shows
For a parcel near Buckhead, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Ordering the Richmond Hill plat map
With a lot near Buckhead, many recorder offices offer an online index, otherwise call or visit with the reference; copy fees are usually small.
Backing up the map with records
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed from the Clerk of Superior Court; the parcel map near Buckhead only summarizes it. Out toward Pembroke, use the document number from the tax record to skip a name search.
Neighboring parcel maps
Bryan County borders Bulloch County, Chatham County, Effingham County, Evans County, and Liberty County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Pembroke may show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map before you assume the acreage.

Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Buckhead are handled by the county Board of Tax Assessors, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Buckhead need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Reading the legal description
Tracts outside towns near Pembroke commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Platted lots around Buckhead refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Buckhead when you talk to a surveyor.
Getting your bearings
Pembroke serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. Roughly 49,739 people live in Bryan County (Census estimate, 2023) on some 438 square miles. Bryan County dates to 1793, which matters when you trace an old farm's title.
Metes and bounds instead
Rural land near Buckhead that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; look for a recorded survey for land there.
