Land questions in Daviess County start in the same place: the official parcel map. Here's how to use the Daviess County GIS map to find owners, acreage and boundary lines, and where it falls short.
We'll start with the official link, then cover Washington and the other towns, land types, property lines and records.
Getting into the Daviess County WTH GIS map
The official map is the Daviess County WTH GIS map, which runs on a WTH Technology GIS parcel site. Use the search box to find a Daviess County parcel by owner name, address or parcel number, or zoom in and click a lot to open its record. If the official link ever moves, the Daviess County page on Platbookmapper keeps the current version.
Who uses the Daviess County parcel map
A buyer comparing houses in Washington and Cannelburg can line up the lot sizes side by side before booking showings. Contractors quoting work near Epsom check frontage and lot depth on the map before they drive out. Investors comb the area around Washington for unbuilt parcels and absentee owners, two clues that a tract might be for sale. Deer hunters scouting the woods between Plainville and Washington use the parcel lines to see how many owners share one ridge or creek bottom.
Towns, terrain and land across Daviess County
The county seat is Washington; Alfordsville, Cannelburg, Elnora, and Montgomery are among the other communities you can zoom to. The county was organized in 1818 and named for Joseph Hamilton Daveiss, so some tracts carry a long chain of deeds. Census Bureau estimates show 33,656 residents in 2023 and around 429 square miles of land in the county. The Daviess County map is a blend: tidy subdivision plats around Plainville, then bigger rural parcels on the way to Washington.
The Daviess County economy in brief
By the Census Bureau's 2022 count, 934 business establishments operated in Daviess County. Construction had the most, followed by retail trade and manufacturing. Measured against national shares, furniture manufacturing, wood product manufacturing, and transportation equipment manufacturing are overrepresented in Daviess County. Around Odon, a wooded tract on the map may be a working forest; recent aerials and the deed will show whether timber rights were reserved.
Reading property lines on the Daviess County GIS map
A Daviess County GIS map is built for assessment, not construction. In Daviess County, as in most places, the lines are a best fit of old deed calls onto modern aerial photos. Because Indiana is a section-township-range state, the legal description of a rural tract in Daviess County reads like a grid reference that you can match to the section lines on the map. For rural ground near Epsom, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
Acreage and vacant lot search
A vacant-land search near Odon, step by step:
- Follow the roads out of Odon with aerials on and mark every tract without a rooftop.
- Click each empty tract near Epsom and note the owner, acreage and mailing address.
- Assessed values lag the market, but comparing tracts near Epsom still shows which ones the county rates higher.
- Make sure the parcel near Cannelburg actually touches a public road, and ask how it's reached if it doesn't.
- Last, call the Daviess County planning or health office about permits, septic and floodplain before you commit.
Before you buy near Cannelburg, read how to tell if land is buildable.
Behind the map: land records in Daviess County
For land near Odon, the parcel record is the index; the recorded deed is the source. Recording offices go by different titles from state to state, including register of deeds, recorder, county clerk and clerk of court; the official Daviess County website names the one that handles deeds. Easements and rights-of-way are usually in recorded documents, not on the parcel map, so read the deed itself for a tract near Epsom.
