Scope and Content Note

The York County Plat Book collection consists of microfilm copies purchased from the South Carolina Department of Archives and History of plat books for York County, SC from 1802-1879. The South Carolina Department of Archives and History describes the collection as consisting “of the commissioner's recorded copies of the plats returned to him by the deputy surveyor. A plat is a map drawn to scale of the land surveyed. Information recorded on each entry includes the names of the prospective grantee, deputy surveyor, and, often, surrounding landowners; the boundaries, acreage, and natural features of the land surveyed; and the dates of the warrant and survey. Volume G contains plats relating to the granting of the Catawba Reservation land.”

The Microfilm is organized on two rolls of microfilm. Roll one consists of Part 1 (Old Book A-C) 1802-1817 and Part 2 (Old Book D-F) 1817-1840. Roll two consist of Book G (1841-1879).

The original copies are housed at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History in Columbia, SC. (Collection Number 000046, Series Number .L 46007)
