Where to open the official Cass County parcel map
Cass County's public parcel map is the Cass County ArcGIS parcel map, hosted on an Esri ArcGIS web map. Rural tracts in Cass County often have no street address, so try an owner search or simply pan to the area and click. Bookmark the Platbookmapper page for Cass County too; we update it when the official map moves.
What the map covers, from Plattsmouth to the back roads
Besides Plattsmouth, which serves as the county seat, the map covers Louisville, Weeping Water, Alvo, and Avoca. You'll also find unincorporated communities, among them Beaver Lake, Buccaneer Bay, and Lake Waconda. The county was organized in 1854 and named for Lewis Cass, so some tracts carry a long chain of deeds. The Census Bureau puts Cass County at about 557 square miles of land and an estimated 27,446 people (2023). Neighborhood lots cluster near Eagle, while the countryside toward Beaver Lake still holds larger parcels. Along the Missouri River, expect long, irregular tracts whose lines follow the water rather than a road. Public ground such as Louisville State Recreation Area and Platte River State Park appears as large unbroken blocks, and the private parcels around them draw hunters and recreation buyers.
Who needs this map
A buyer who wants ten or twenty acres near Eagle can rule out most of the wrong tracts from a desk before driving out. Anyone hunting for a buildable lot near Louisville can spot unbuilt parcels on the aerial layer and look up who owns them. Builders bidding a house on a lot in Eagle start with the parcel ID and legal description, since permit paperwork usually asks for both.
Acreage and vacant lot search
A vacant-land search near Plattsmouth, step by step:
- Turn on the photo basemap and work outward from Weeping Water one road at a time, flagging parcels with no buildings.
- Click each empty tract near Beaver Lake and note the owner, acreage and mailing address.
- Check that the tract touches a public road; a landlocked lot near Weeping Water can be hard to finance and build on.
- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Cedar Creek to sanity-check an asking price.
- Last, call the Cass County planning or health office about permits, septic and floodplain before you commit.
Before you buy near Weeping Water, read how to tell if land is buildable.
Reading property lines on the Cass County parcel map
Zoom in far enough on a lot in Louisville and you may notice lines crossing driveways or splitting sheds, a normal quirk of tax mapping. Nebraska uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural deeds in Cass County often describe land by section, township and range, and you can match the call to the grid on the map. Corner pins, a recorded plat and a Nebraska licensed surveyor beat any line on a screen.
Behind the map: land records in Cass County
The map near Eagle is only as good as the deeds behind it, and those are kept in the county's recording office. Recording offices go by different titles from state to state, including register of deeds, recorder, county clerk and clerk of court; the official Cass County website names the one that handles deeds. For subdivision lots in Plattsmouth, the plat book and page on the record leads straight to the recorded plat.
The Cass County economy in brief
The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 611 business establishments in Cass County in 2022, and the largest groups were construction, other services, and retail trade. Relative to the U.S. as a whole, Cass County is heavy on mining (except oil and gas), nonmetallic mineral product manufacturing, and truck transportation. In Cass County, minerals are often severed from the surface, so the owner on the parcel map may not own what's underneath.
Neighboring counties
Cass County shares borders with Fremont County, IA, Mills County, IA, Lancaster County, Otoe County, and Sarpy County, and each one runs its own parcel map and recording office. Our Nebraska directory links each one.
