The following has been brought to my attention. It may be of interest to
some of our county coordinators:
A Web site of scanned plats at
www.crumptonplats.com
<
http://www.crumptonplats.com/>, created by Dan Crumpton who has compiled
excellent books on Georgia land records. This site will be added to over
time as Crumpton has tens of thousands of old plats from various sources
that he has accumulated in his more than 50 years as a surveyor. The plats
that are currently online are from old Burke county (a burned county) many
dating from the 1780s. Searching is free and if you find the individual you
are searching for, the charge is $5.00 to purchase a copy of the plat and if
there is information on the back that can be purchased for an additional
$2.00. In early May there were only 3200 plats on the site.
