Planning a hunt near Kerrick? The Dallam County hunting map is really two maps: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. This Dallam County guide covers: where public hunting land is mapped, how to read private parcel lines, and how to ask for permission.
Building your Dallam County hunting map
If you're looking near Coldwater, public hunting areas are mapped by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, along with seasons and regulations.
The viewer Dallam County publishes
Lots and tracts near Dalhart can be looked up on the Dallam CAD interactive map, a viewer that needs no account. Without an address in hand, follow the nearest road on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, for land near Texline included. If the land is near Kerrick, save the parcel ID from that panel; each office in the county asks for it first.
Scouting from the aerial
Switch to aerial imagery near Conlen, travel corridors and edges stand out; then confirm whose land each feature is on.
Limits of the parcel data
For a tract near Texline, listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real lines on the ground. For a parcel near Rita Blanca National Grassland, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the viewer just points to it, whether the land is near Coldwater or elsewhere in the county. With a lot near Kerrick, use the document number listed on the parcel record and the lookup takes minutes.
Who owns the ground
Private boundaries come from the Dallam CAD interactive map, and each tract near Texline lists an owner.
Finding a landowner
For a tract near Kerrick, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Safety and courtesy
Leave gates as you found them on land near Coldwater, and carry the owner's contact info; it keeps permission coming back.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Rita Blanca National Grassland, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Kerrick keeps working without signal.
Legal descriptions in Texas
Older tracts around Texline are often described by metes and bounds, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Platted lots around Texline are typically described by lot and block, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Conlen when you talk to a surveyor.
Regulations to check
Seasons, licenses and trespass laws are set by the state, and know your state's trespass rules wherever you hunt near Texline.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Rita Blanca National Grassland belong with the appraisal district, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Conlen need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
