The printed Androscoggin County plat book and the online parcel map answer the same question, who owns the land near Lisbon, in different ways. We'll cover what's in one, where Androscoggin County copies turn up, and how the county's free map fills the gaps.
How to use the Androscoggin County plat book
A plat book, sometimes called a land atlas, displays each township in Androscoggin County as a page, with ownership blocks labeled by owner name and approximate acreage. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Durham; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Opening the Androscoggin County parcel viewer
Androscoggin County parcels are viewed through a statewide map, the Maine GeoLibrary Parcel Viewer; zoom toward Durham to reach them. Use the search box for an address in Durham or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a tract close to Lewiston. For a backup route to the map covering Lewiston, our Androscoggin County directory entry keeps the link current.
Current and older editions
Private publishers have printed plat books for many rural counties, but editions for Androscoggin County come and go; inquire at the courthouse, the extension office or a farm supply store in Auburn. Older editions are useful for family history around Durham, showing who held a farm decades ago.
Atlas details and limits
A typical atlas page for a township near Durham displays sections, roads and streams, with each ownership block labeled. Small parcels and town lots in Durham are frequently too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. For a land purchase near Livermore, rely on the county parcel record and a title search, not an atlas.
