The Angleton plat map: start here
For a lot in Angleton, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; that makes the request quick.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Brazoria County parcel viewer; it covers each assessed parcel in the county, Bonney included. For a tract near Holiday Lakes, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For a home near Bailey's Prairie, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
Where Angleton fits in
Angleton sits in Brazoria County, Texas, so its parcels are on the county's map. As the county seat, Angleton hosts the courthouse, so deeds and plats are filed in town. With a lot near Richwood, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the city limits out by Richwood often answers to county rules instead.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
The tax map on the Brazoria County parcel viewer is a summary, but the recorded plat is what the deed relies on.
Land outside a subdivision
Acreage around Holiday Lakes outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; look for a recorded survey for land near Richwood.
Reading the legal description
Rural deeds near Bailey's Prairie are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Platted lots around Bonney refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Holiday Lakes when you talk to a surveyor.
Recorded documents worth pulling
When the details count, pull the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the parcel map near Bailey's Prairie only summarizes it. Older tracts around Bonney can go back through many deeds, and a title company is worth hiring if money is changing hands.

Utility or drainage strips on a lot in the town stay with the land when it sells; read the notes on the sheet for land near Alvin.
A quick look at the area
Angleton holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Bailey's Prairie, Holiday Lakes, Danbury, and Richwood, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 398,938 people call Brazoria County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 1,363 square miles.

When a plat changes

Requesting the plat
Around Holiday Lakes, many recorder offices offer an online index, otherwise call or visit with the reference; copy fees are usually small.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Holiday Lakes, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Lake Jackson with its ID is a good backup.
Land on the county line
Brazoria County borders Fort Bend County, Galveston County, Harris County, Matagorda County, and Wharton County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground near Richwood that runs to the line may be split across two assessors' files, so open the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. For a parcel near Bailey's Prairie, the Platbookmapper state page links each neighboring county map across Texas.
What the map can't tell you
Listed acreage is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on land around Richwood. On ground around Bonney, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Offices that can help
For assessment questions about property around Bonney go to the appraisal district, since that office keeps the assessment data. Questions about what you can build around Bonney need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
