Land questions in Clark County start in the same place: the official parcel map. Here's how to use the Clark County plat book to find owners, acreage and boundary lines, and where it falls short.
This guide walks through the official link, the kinds of land you'll find around Greenwood, and what to do when the map and the ground don't agree.
Getting into the Clark County parcel viewer
Clark County's public parcel map is the Clark County parcel viewer. Try the search box with a Greenwood street address first; for open land near Christie, it's faster to pan and click. Our Clark County, WI page keeps the current link if the official address changes.
Is there a current Clark County plat book?
Printed plat books put every township on a page with owner names on the tracts. Whether a current Clark County edition is in print varies by year. Treat a printed edition as a handy field reference near Greenwood and the online map as the current record. Both trace back to the same source: recorded deeds.
Are the Clark County property lines accurate?
A Clark County plat book is built for assessment, not construction. In Clark County, as in most places, the lines are a best fit of old deed calls onto modern aerial photos. Out past Loyal, rural deeds usually cite a section, township and range, and those section lines often show on the parcel layer. A survey is the only document that settles where a Clark County boundary actually runs.
The lay of the land in Clark County
The county seat is Neillsville; Abbotsford, Colby, Greenwood, and Loyal are among the other communities you can zoom to. Crossroads communities such as Chili, Humbird, and Atwood have their own small clusters of lots. The Census Bureau puts Clark County at about 1,210 square miles of land and an estimated 34,774 people (2023). It is a rural county: tight town lots in Owen, then fields, woods and small acreage splits along the back roads.
Private and public hunting ground in Clark County
Getting on private ground in Clark County is about relationships, and those start with the owner name on the parcel record. Licenses and season dates for the Christie area come from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Landowners in Clark County hear from a lot of hunters; a specific request that names the parcel stands out.
Finding vacant land and acreage in Clark County
Looking for open ground between Loyal and Colby? Try this:
- Follow the roads out of Colby with aerials on and mark every tract without a rooftop.
- Open the record for each empty tract near Loyal and note whether the owner's mailing address is outside Clark County.
- Size up price by comparing a few similar tracts around Loyal on the assessment records.
- Measure the road frontage on the map; a sliver of frontage on a road outside Colby may not be enough for a driveway permit.
- Last, call the Clark County planning or health office about permits, septic and floodplain before you commit.

Where Clark County deeds and plats are kept
For land near Colby, the Register of Deeds holds the recorded documents, and the parcel map reflects them once they're processed for taxes. The Clark County Register of Deeds records and indexes real estate documents under Wis. Stat. 59.43. The parcel record often lists a deed book and page or an instrument number, which is how you request a copy of the recorded deed for a tract near Colby.
Who's clicking on Clark County parcels
If you're after rural acreage near Greenwood, the map shows which tracts are big enough and which ones border paved roads or water. Raw-land buyers scan Clark County imagery for empty tracts and check the owner records behind them. For hunters in Clark County, the map turns a wall of trees into named ownerships, which is the first step toward getting permission.
Data limits to keep in mind
Splits and sales near Christie can take weeks or months to show up on the parcel layer. Treat Clark County acreage figures as estimates until a survey confirms them.
Work and land use in Clark County
Federal business data for 2022 shows 773 establishments in the county, with retail trade, construction, and other services at the top of the list. Compared with the nation, the county has an unusually high share of businesses in wood product manufacturing, furniture manufacturing, and agriculture and forestry support services. In practice, wooded ground near Colby often trades as timberland, and the aerial layer shows which tracts were cut recently. Keep that in mind when you compare parcels in Clark County: who works here shapes what land sells.
