Hunting for the latest Converse County plat book? These atlases map who owns rural land, page by page, popular with hunters, farmers and buyers near Bill. Covered here for this county: what's in a plat book, where to find editions, and how the county viewer fills the gaps, especially near Glenrock.
Getting started with the Converse County plat book
For a tract near Boxelder, a plat book is a privately published atlas, showing rural owners and tract lines, page by page across the county.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Converse County parcel viewer; it includes each tax parcel in the county, Bill included. Without an address in hand, pan along the nearest road until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, for land near Lost Springs included. If you're looking near Glenrock, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; each office in the county asks for it first.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Esterbrook, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Esterbrook with its ID keeps working without signal.
Places you'll see on the map
Douglas is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Glenrock, Rolling Hills, Lost Springs, and Esterbrook, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 13,809 people call Converse County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over about 4,255 square miles. The county was organized in 1888, which matters when you trace an old farm's title, especially near Lost Springs. Places such as Medicine Bow National Forest help you orient on the aerial around Lost Springs.
Offices that can help
Recorded documents for a parcel near Orin sit in the index kept by the County Clerk, usually searchable by name or document number. Questions about what you can build around Rolling Hills need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Where to look for one
Older editions near Rolling Hills turn up in libraries and historical societies, useful for family or title research.
What the map can't tell you
For a tract near Boxelder, listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on the ground. For acreage around Boxelder, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Orin are kept by the County Clerk. Older tracts near Boxelder can go back through many deeds, so a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Neighboring parcel maps
The county meets Albany County, Campbell County, Carbon County, Johnson County, and Natrona County, all with their own assessor records, at least around Boxelder. Acreage along the edge near Rolling Hills can be split in two county records, so open the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. For land near Douglas, our state page lists each bordering county map for Wyoming.

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Boxelder odd-sized. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Lost Springs for any title or survey request.
