The printed Yadkin County plat book and the online parcel map answer the same question, who owns the land near East Bend, in different ways. We'll cover what's in one, where Yadkin County copies turn up, and how the county's free map fills the gaps.
Plat books vs. recorded plats in Yadkin County
Private publishers compile plat books from county records, so a county edition is a snapshot of who owned land near Yadkinville the year it was printed. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Jonesville; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
