Want a copy of the Woodford County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, and it's handy for land around Mortonsville. In this Woodford County guide: what's in a plat book, where to look for printed copies, and how the county viewer fills the gaps.
The Woodford County plat book: start here
For property near Millville, plat books are commercial atlases, showing rural owners and tract lines, often organized by township.
The viewer Woodford County publishes
Go first to the Versailles-Midway-Woodford County Planning Commission Zoning Map; it covers every assessed parcel from Pisgah to Mortonsville. When a rural tract has no street number, follow the nearest road on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, which applies near Versailles as much as anywhere. If you're looking near Millville, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
How land is described here
Rural deeds near Midway are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Subdivision lots in Nonesuch are typically described by lot and block, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Nonesuch before you request a deed or survey.
Woodford County in a few facts
Versailles is the county seat, home to the main records offices. Smaller places on the map include Midway, Millville, Nonesuch, and Mortonsville, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 27,268 people call Woodford County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over about 190 square miles. The county was formed in 1788, which matters when you trace an old farm's title around Midway.
Backing up the map with records
For a tract near Nonesuch, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the County Clerk. For property near Pinckard, bring the document number listed on the parcel record and the lookup takes minutes.
What the map can't tell you
For acreage around Millville, the acreage figure is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real lines on the ground. For property near Midway, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Where to look for one
Editions come and go depending on publishers, check with local offices and farm stores near Nonesuch.
Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Pisgah are handled by the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA), which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Nonesuch are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Neighboring parcel maps
The county touches Anderson County, Fayette County, Franklin County, Jessamine County, and Mercer County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map, at least around Mortonsville. A tract near the line by Mortonsville may be split in two county records, so look at the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. If the land is near Versailles, the Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map for Kentucky.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Pisgah, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Pinckard with its ID keeps working without signal.
Using the parcel viewer instead
For current names, use the Versailles-Midway-Woodford County Planning Commission Zoning Map, across the county.
