Want a copy of the Churchill County plat book? These atlases map who owns rural land, page by page, popular with hunters, farmers and buyers near Dixie Valley. This Churchill County guide covers: what's in a plat book, where to find editions, and how the county viewer fills the gaps.
Getting started with the Churchill County plat book
For a parcel near Eastgate, a plat book is a privately published atlas, that map ownership across the countryside, page by page across the county.
Getting to the right map
Go first to the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it includes each tax parcel from Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge to Fallon National Wildlife Refuge. When a rural tract has no street number, follow Interstate 11 on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. For a home near Fallon National Wildlife Refuge, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Making your own township pages
Print parcel views near Eastgate township by township to build your own up-to-date atlas.
Where to look for one
Not every county has a current edition, so ask at the courthouse, extension office or a local library near Cold Springs.
Current ownership online
For current names, use the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer, across the county, and that holds around Dixie Valley too.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Fallon Station, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Fallon Station with its ID is a good backup.

A word on accuracy

Which office to call

Atlas or legal document

Recorded documents worth pulling
