The official viewer behind the Craig GIS map
If the land is near Dinosaur, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Moffat County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers each tax parcel around Dinosaur and Maybell. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, and that holds around Dinosaur too. For acreage around Dinosaur, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Reading the legal description
Colorado is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Dinosaur cite section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Dinosaur vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Maybell for any title or survey request.
Troubleshooting the viewer
If the viewer stalls on a phone near Maybell, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; the Platbookmapper county page tracks the current link.
City limits and county records
Craig sits in Moffat County, Colorado, so its parcels are on the county's map. Craig is also the county seat, which puts the County Clerk and Recorder close by. Around Maybell, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the city limits toward Maybell generally answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Finding the right lot
Vacant ground near Dinosaur may lack an address, so zoom in from the nearest road and click the outline. If you're looking near Maybell, searching by parcel number never misses, and it's printed on tax bills.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners on land around Dinosaur. On ground around Maybell, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Recorded documents worth pulling
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed from the County Clerk and Recorder; the parcel map near Dinosaur only summarizes it. Around Dinosaur, use the instrument number shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Moffat County meets Rio Blanco County, Routt County, Daggett County, UT, Uintah County, UT, and Carbon County, WY; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Maybell can show up in two county records, so look at the neighboring map before you assume the acreage.
