From Sandersville to the back roads
Town lots cluster around Sandersville, the county seat, and Davisboro, Oconee, Tennille, and Deepstep. Smaller places such as Warthen, Goat Town, and Irwins Crossroads appear on the county map as little clusters of lots. Census Bureau estimates put Washington County at about 19,820 residents in 2023 on about 679 square miles of land. Outside Deepstep, most of the county map is farm, ranch or timber ground with large, irregular tracts.
Deal-breakers to check near Davisboro
Access first: confirm the Washington County parcel touches a public road, because the map alone won't show an easement. Low ground near Irwins Crossroads deserves a flood check on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center well before you fall for the view. Call the planning office for land near Irwins Crossroads whether the land can be built on or divided, well before you make an offer.

Carrying costs for land near Harrison
