Camping Inside the Lot
The meadow that looks empty may be the next parcel.

Why this comes up
The meadow that looks empty may be the next parcel. Confirm the parcel in the county viewer before you unpack.
What to check on the map first
County GIS lines are assessment maps. They are not a survey, and a product will not redraw them.
Open Platbookmapper and choose the state. The directory sends you to the county viewer. Match the parcel ID before you trust a pin on an aerial photo.
A tool that matches the job
Shop the Tent when that is the job in front of you. Confirm the parcel in the county viewer before you unpack.
The limit
Camp inside the parcel, away from a line you have not found. Owning the lot does not override a local burn ban.
Walk the parcel in daylight before you trust a gadget at dusk.
Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey.
