Boundary surveys, ALTA surveys, site plans and construction staking across Coweta County. Licensed Georgia surveyor serving Newnan, Senoia and the surrounding towns.
Coweta County sits in the western Piedmont of Georgia, with Newnan as its county seat. The county straddles a drainage divide inside the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee and Flint (ACF) system: the eastern half drains toward the Upper Flint, and the western half toward the Middle Chattahoochee and Lake Harding. Where a tract sits relative to that divide often decides which way its runoff and its drainage easements run, and that is the kind of detail a survey is expected to get right.
The county lies wholly in the Piedmont province, a landscape of rolling hills rather than the sharp ridges of north Georgia. There is no major mountain or reservoir documented inside Coweta's boundaries, so the survey work here turns less on dramatic relief and more on careful retracement of lines through gently rolling, well developed country around Newnan and the smaller towns.
S&S Land Surveying LLC works from 549 West Ave in Cedartown and takes surveying work across west Georgia, including Coweta County. The firm was founded at the end of 2021 by William "Bart" Sims, who has more than 40 years of surveying experience, and the work is performed by a licensed Georgia surveyor. We hold a 4.9 star rating across 50+ Google reviews. Newnan is the county seat, and the incorporated cities and towns include Grantville, Senoia, Moreland, Sharpsburg, Turin and Haralson. We take work throughout the unincorporated county as well.
Georgia is a metes and bounds state. The federal rectangular survey system never applied here, because land in Georgia was granted by the State rather than by the federal government, so there is no township and range grid underneath a Coweta County deed. Land in this part of Georgia was distributed by the State in land lots grouped into land districts, and those land lot and district numbers still appear in the legal descriptions on deeds and plats recorded today. Following them back is normally where the retracement of an older boundary starts.
Under O.C.G.A. § 44-2-1, deeds are recorded with the Clerk of Superior Court of the county where the land lies. The office holding the record is fixed by the location of the property itself, not by the owner's address, so a Coweta County parcel records in Coweta County. Getting the recording county right is a first check on any older chain of title.
Plats are governed by O.C.G.A. § 15-6-67, the Georgia Plat Act. The clerk files and records plats that meet the standards of the State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, and a subdivision plat cannot be recorded without approval from the planning commission or the governing authority, so a division of land has to clear local review before the clerk can accept it. Current parcel and assessment data for the county is published through the Coweta County Assessor's Office at coweta.ga.us/276/Assessors-Office.
Coweta County lies entirely in the Piedmont province, the belt of rolling, weathered upland that runs across the middle of Georgia between the mountains and the coastal plain. Unlike the Ridge and Valley country farther north, the Piedmont here has no long rock ridges. The relief is gentler and more even, and that shapes how a survey reads the ground.
The county sits on a drainage divide within the ACF system. The eastern half of Coweta drains toward the Upper Flint, and the western half toward the Middle Chattahoochee and Lake Harding. There is no major mountain or reservoir recorded inside the county's boundaries, so grade changes tend to be gradual and the important elevation questions are usually about drainage and how stormwater leaves a site.
For a property owner this matters in practical terms. A topographic survey records the surface and its contours so drainage and grading can be designed correctly, and a boundary survey establishes where the lines run across it. On rolling Piedmont ground the value is in accurate contours and clean line retracement rather than in mapping dramatic terrain.
