Due diligence on Simpson County land
Start with access for a parcel near D'Lo: check road frontage on the map, and read the deed for any access easement. Low ground near Pinola deserves a flood check on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center before you fall for the view. Ask the county or town office in Braxton whether the land can be built on or divided, before you make an offer.

What the map won't display
Wetlands on rural ground near Pinola can limit building; the National Wetlands Inventory and a site visit help before you commit in the county. Drive the roads to the parcel near Mendenhall at different times of day; traffic, neighbors and noise do not display on the county map.
