Where to open the official Craig County parcel map
Open the statewide OKMaps (Oklahoma Office of Geographic Information) - Statewide Parcels layer and zoom toward Ketchum; Craig County's parcels are part of that layer. For land around Bluejacket with no street number, zoom to the road and click the tract to open its record. If the map ever goes missing, check the Craig County, Oklahoma listing on Platbookmapper for the new address.
Where Craig County deeds and plats are kept
The map near Ketchum is only as good as the deeds behind it, and those are kept in the county's recording office. Which office that is depends on how Oklahoma organizes it, so look it up on the Craig County government site before you call. If the Craig County parcel record shows an instrument number, that number is the shortcut to the recorded deed.
What the map covers, from Vinita to the back roads
Besides Vinita, which serves as the county seat, the map covers Big Cabin, Bluejacket, Ketchum, and Welch. Out in the countryside, White Oak and Centralia appear as small knots of lots along the road network. Organized in 1907, and named for Granville Craig, Craig County has a long paper trail, and early deeds may cite landmarks that no longer exist. The county's land area is about 761 square miles, and the Census Bureau estimated 14,494 residents there in 2023. Outside Vinita the parcels open up quickly into farms, timber and small acreage homesites.
Who uses the Craig County parcel map
Here's who tends to use it in Craig County.
- Land shoppers looking between Vinita and Bluejacket measure road frontage on the map and check whether a tract is landlocked.
- Anyone hunting for a buildable lot near Vinita can spot unbuilt parcels on the aerial layer and look up who owns them.
- Contractors working in Craig County use the map to find lot dimensions and neighboring owners before they stake a foundation or schedule a survey.
Vacant land and acreage on the Craig County parcel map
Five steps for vacant land in Craig County:
- Start on the outskirts of Big Cabin, where empty lots are easy to spot between the houses on the aerial layer.
- Click each empty tract near Centralia and note the owner, acreage and mailing address.
- Compare land values on similar Craig County tracts to see whether an asking price is in the ballpark.
- Trace the frontage on any tract near Centralia; without it, access depends on a recorded easement.
- Ask the local offices serving Bluejacket about building permits and septic rules before you buy.
For a tract near Langley with no road frontage, see how to tell if land is landlocked.
Are the Craig County property lines accurate?
Lines on the map show roughly where one parcel near Bluejacket ends and the next begins; the exact spot is a surveyor's call. The section grid shapes many farm tracts around Centralia; boundaries often follow quarter-section lines you can spot on the map. For rural ground near Centralia, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
Before you rely on the data
A lot in Big Cabin that sold last month may still show the previous owner on the map. Treat Craig County acreage figures as estimates until a survey confirms them.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
