What a Cotton County plat book is
A plat book, sometimes called a land atlas, lists each township in Cotton County as a page, with ownership blocks labeled by owner name and approximate acreage. Deeds and recorded plats, not the atlas, still govern land near Fivemile Corner in the county.

Finding a printed Cotton County plat book

What a plat book page lists near Randlett
Plat book pages for Cotton County most frequently include an index of owners, so you can find a family name near Devol without knowing the township.
