Land questions in Andrews County start in the same place: the official parcel map. Here's how to use the Andrews County GIS map to find owners, acreage and boundary lines, and where it falls short.
We'll start with the official link, then cover Frankel City and the other towns, land types, property lines and records.
Towns, terrain and land across Andrews County
Andrews serves as the county seat. The county dates to 1910, named for Richard Andrews, and older deeds may still refer to landmarks from that era. Roughly 18,664 people (Census Bureau, 2023) share Andrews County's 1,501 square miles of land. At that density most of the Andrews County map is farm and wooded ground, with smaller lots clustered around Florey and along paved roads.
Opening the Andrews County GIS map
Open the Andrews CAD interactive map (built on a BIS Consulting map viewer); it is the county's own published map. Rural tracts near McKinney Acres often show an abstract number in the legal description; note it along with the property ID. We track the link on our Andrews County directory page, so check there if it stops loading.
How accurate are Andrews County, TX property lines?
An Andrews County GIS map is built for assessment, not construction. In Andrews County, as in most places, the lines are a best fit of old deed calls onto modern aerial photos. Texas rural land is described by original survey and abstract number, not sections and townships, and the Andrews County appraisal map usually shows the abstract lines. If a neighbor's fence near McKinney Acres and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
Behind the map: land records in Andrews County
Values on a parcel near Frankel City come from the appraisal district; the deed itself is filed with the county's land records office. For a tract near McKinney Acres, the appraised value is set by the Andrews County appraisal district, which Texas law keeps separate from county government. For subdivision lots in Florey, the plat book and page on the record leads straight to the recorded plat.
Who uses the Andrews County parcel map
Land shoppers looking between Florey and McKinney Acres measure road frontage on the map and check whether a tract is landlocked. Anyone hunting for a buildable lot near Florey can spot unbuilt parcels on the aerial layer and look up who owns them. A small builder looking for spec lots around Frankel City can scan the map for vacant parcels in already-platted subdivisions.
Private and public hunting ground in Andrews County
Most hunting ground in Andrews County is privately owned, and the parcel map is how you find out whose it is. Check the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for public hunting areas and current regulations before you hunt near Florey. Landowners in Andrews County hear from a lot of hunters; a specific request that names the parcel stands out.
Acreage and vacant lot search
Try this the next time you're looking for land near Frankel City:
- Scan the imagery around McKinney Acres; open fields and woodlots with no driveway stand out right away.
- For each tract near Florey, note the parcel ID, the owner and where the tax bill is mailed.
- Trace the frontage on any tract near McKinney Acres; without it, access depends on a recorded easement.
- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Frankel City to sanity-check an asking price.
- Check the flood layer and ask about septic and permits; open land in Andrews County isn't automatically buildable.
The Andrews County economy in brief
By the Census Bureau's 2022 count, 433 business establishments operated in Andrews County. Mining, quarrying and oil and gas had the most, followed by retail trade and other services. What stands out is support activities for mining and drilling, oil and gas extraction, and heavy and civil engineering construction: those sectors make up a much larger slice of local businesses than they do nationally. For land near McKinney Acres, the deed history matters as much as the map: minerals may belong to someone else entirely.
Before you rely on the data
Splits and sales near McKinney Acres can take weeks or months to show up on the parcel layer. Acreage on the Andrews County map is a tax figure; a survey is what a lender or buyer should rely on.
