Looking for a Wilcox County plat book? A plat book shows owners and tract lines on township pages, useful for farms near Yellow Bluff. What this county guide covers: how the atlas is organized, where to find editions, and how the county viewer fills the gaps, especially near Camden.
The Wilcox County plat book: start here
For property near Pine Apple, plat books are commercial atlases, that map ownership across the countryside, page by page across the county.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the Wilcox County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every tax parcel in the county, Pine Apple included. For property near Yellow Bluff, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. On ground around Anne Manie, save the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county will want it.
A quick look at the area
Camden serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Oak Hill, Pine Apple, Pine Hill, and Yellow Bluff, each with its own cluster of lots. About 9,944 people call Wilcox County home (Census estimate, 2023) across some 888 square miles. Wilcox County dates to 1819, which matters when you trace an old farm's title.
How land is described here
Alabama uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Yellow Bluff reference sections and townships. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Anne Manie can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Yellow Bluff before you request a deed or survey.
A word on accuracy
Near Pine Hill, acreage on the record is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on the ground. For a home near Pine Apple, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Offices that can help
For assessment questions about property around Oak Hill go to the revenue commissioner or tax assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Alberta need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Buying or borrowing a copy
Older editions near Boykin turn up in libraries and historical societies, useful for family or title research.
Making your own township pages
Print parcel views near Ackerville township by township and keep them in a binder for the truck.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Yellow Bluff, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Catherine and its lines keeps working without signal.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Wilcox County touches Butler County, Clarke County, Dallas County, Lowndes County, and Marengo County, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by Alberta can be split across two assessors' files, so look at the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. On ground around Ackerville, our state page lists every neighboring county map across Alabama.
Common uses

Two kinds of plat
Don't confuse the atlas with a recorded subdivision plat: recorded plats near Anne Manie are filed with the Judge of Probate (probate office), and the atlas is just a guide.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Alberta are kept by the Judge of Probate (probate office). If the land is near Camden, bring the book and page shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
