If a deed near Ayr mentions a township, or a tax bill names one, the Cass County township map is how you locate it on the ground. The free Cass County parcel viewer and the parcel record usually show both.
How to use the Cass County township map
A township name on a county tax record refers to the civil township where the land near Alice sits. The survey township cited in deeds near Briarwood follows the federal survey grid, with blocks about 6 miles on a side; each holds 36 sections, so a farm near Embden may span two.
Search Cass County parcels by owner, address or ID
The county's own public map is the Cass County ArcGIS parcel map, built on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and it opens without an account for parcels in Arthur and the rest of the county. Click any Cass County parcel near Arthur to open its record: owner, parcel ID and assessed acreage are usually listed. Our Cass County, ND page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Ayr in one place.
How to look up a township in Cass County
On the Cass County ArcGIS parcel map, the parcel record for a property near Briarwood usually lists the township, and many viewers draw township lines as a layer. Some Cass County viewers include a PLSS layer that labels sections, which helps when a deed near Alice cites T and R numbers.
Reading sections near Ayr
For land around Argusville, sections are numbered from 1 in the northeast corner, and the sequence zigzags row by row to section 36. Calls like 'NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4' near Ayr make sense in reverse: locate the southwest quarter, then its northeast quarter, on the county grid. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Argusville may not be exactly 640 acres.
Old names and overlapping districts in Cass County
If a county deed near Embden cites a township that no longer appears on the map, the county recorder can usually explain the change. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Cass County do not always follow township lines near Argusville, so check each one separately.

Where Cass County land records are kept
