Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Allegheny County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every assessed parcel in the county, Crafton included.

Around Heidelberg, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.

Carnegie, PA: the basics
Carnegie sits in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, which means parcel data comes from the county. With a lot near Crafton, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the town limits out by Rosslyn Farms often falls under county rules instead.
Limits of the parcel data
Listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on land around Thornburg. Owner names and values update on a schedule, so a fresh transfer around Thornburg may not show yet.
Taking the map into the field

How land is described here
Tracts outside towns near Green Tree are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point.

Finding the right lot
Vacant ground near Pennsbury Village may lack an address, so pan the aerial and click the lot. If you're looking near Thornburg, a parcel ID is the most reliable search, and it's printed on tax bills.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Green Tree are filed with the Recorder of Deeds. Long-held tracts near Rosslyn Farms can trace back through several deeds, so a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.
