Looking for a Clarion County plat book? Plenty of people around Hawthorn still want a paper atlas with owner names on every section. This guide covers finding a printed edition for Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and using the free parcel map in the meantime.
What a Clarion County plat book is
Private publishers compile plat books from county records, so a county edition is a snapshot of who owned land near Foxburg the year it was printed. Deeds and recorded plats, not the atlas, still govern land near Leeper in the county.
The county map you'll pair it with
The county's own public map is the Clarion County ArcGIS parcel map, built on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and it opens without an account for parcels in Hawthorn and the rest of the county. Most people locate their Clarion County tract fastest by searching an address in New Bethlehem, then clicking the outline. For a backup route to the map covering New Bethlehem, our Clarion County directory entry keeps the link current.
