Getting started with the Cochran County plat book
For acreage around Famuliner, plat books are commercial atlases, with owner names on each tract, usually township by township.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Cochran CAD interactive map; it maps each assessed parcel from Lehman to Griffith. Around Lehman, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match.

With a lot near Lehman, the Platbookmapper state page lists each bordering county map across Texas.
Sections, lots and bearings
Rural deeds near Whiteface are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Town lots near Whiteface usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Whiteface for any title or survey request.
The paper trail behind a parcel
For anything that matters, pull the recorded deed from the County Clerk; the viewer just points to it, which applies near Lehman as much as anywhere. On ground around Lehman, have ready the instrument number from the tax record to skip a name search.
Which office to call
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Morton looks off go to the appraisal district, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Lehman need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Common uses

A homemade atlas
Print parcel views near Lehman township by township to build your own up-to-date atlas.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Famuliner, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Whiteface with its ID keeps working without signal.
