Legal descriptions in Utah

Keep the legal description for land near Dutch John when you talk to a surveyor.
On site with the map

Not the same thing
Closer to Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, don't confuse the atlas with a recorded subdivision plat: the recorded plat at the County Recorder is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Which office to call

What the map can't tell you
If the land is near Flaming Gorge, acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real boundary on the ground. If the land is near Ashley National Forest, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
