When a deed near Nellie says lot and block, look up the Coshocton plat map it refers to. This Coshocton guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Who keeps the Coshocton plat map
If you're looking near Nellie, recorded plats sit with the County Recorder, usually in a plat book or cabinet.
The free map to start with
Property in and around Nellie can be looked up on the Coshocton County ArcGIS parcel map, free to use and open without a login. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, whether the land is near Warsaw or elsewhere in the county. If the land is near Plainfield, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every records desk in the county uses it to find the file.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements covering ground around West Lafayette sit with the County Recorder. Long-held tracts around Nellie can trace back through many deeds, and a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.
Coshocton and the county around it
Coshocton is part of Coshocton County, Ohio, which means parcel data comes from the county. As the county seat, Coshocton hosts the courthouse, which puts the County Recorder close by. For acreage around West Lafayette, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits out by Warsaw usually follows county rules, not municipal ones.
Land on the county line
Coshocton County touches Guernsey County, Holmes County, Knox County, Licking County, and Muskingum County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Nellie can be split across two assessors' files, so check the adjacent map as well. In and around Warsaw, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map for Ohio.
Which office to call
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Warsaw are with the County Recorder, usually searchable by name or document number. Questions about what you can build around West Lafayette go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Plat map vs. parcel map
The Coshocton County ArcGIS parcel map draws parcels for taxes, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Metes and bounds instead
Rural land near Plainfield that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Amended plats
An amended plat may change lots around West Lafayette, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
A word on accuracy
Listed acreage is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines for a parcel near Conesville. For a home near Plainfield, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Lots, blocks and easements
For land near Conesville, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Nellie, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near West Lafayette and its lines is a good backup.
