The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Atglen are kept by the Recorder of Deeds. Long-held tracts near Downingtown may sit on a long string of deeds, so a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Search tips

Using it on a phone

Sections, lots and bearings
Tracts outside towns near South Coatesville are often described by metes and bounds, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Town lots near Honey Brook refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Honey Brook for any title or survey request.
