Washington County at a glance: towns and land
Parcel searches in Washington County tend to center on Greenville, the county seat, plus Hollandale, Leland, Arcola, and Metcalfe. Organized in 1827, and named for George Washington, Washington County has a long paper trail, and early deeds may cite landmarks that no longer exist. Census Bureau estimates show 41,946 residents in 2023 and around 724 square miles of land in the county. It's a middle-density county, so the map shifts from small platted lots near Arcola to farm and wooded tracts within a few miles. Look for Holt Collier National Wildlife Refuge and Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge on the map; the private tracts touching them are some of the most asked-about parcels in Washington County.

That points to working timberland, so check whether a wooded parcel in Washington County has been cut recently or is enrolled in a forestry program. It's useful background when you're judging whether a tract near Greenville will hold its value.
