When a deed near Jenkintown says lot and block, you'll need the Conshohocken plat map to make sense of it. Covered here for this town: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet around Norristown.
Who keeps the Conshohocken plat map
For a subdivision near Bridgeport, the deed usually cites the plat; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Montgomery County parcel viewer; it includes each tax parcel in the county, West Conshohocken included. Out toward Ambler, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. In and around Ambler, the parcel card typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Before you lean on the lines
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near Ambler may sit a few yards off the line on screen. Closer to Norristown, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.

The paper trail behind a parcel

Reading the legal description
Older tracts around Jenkintown commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks.

Write down the legal description for the tract near Narberth when you talk to a surveyor.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Narberth, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Narberth is a good backup.
