The Dimmit County hunting map: start here
On ground around Carrizo Springs, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department publishes the public-land maps, with rules that vary by area.
Pulling up a parcel
Parcels around Carrizo Hill are published on the Dimmit CAD interactive map, a viewer that needs no account. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow the nearest road on the aerial and select the outline, and that holds around Las Vegas too. With a lot near Big Wells, save the parcel ID while you have it open; every records desk in the county uses it to find the file.
Reading the legal description
Rural deeds near Big Wells commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Subdivision lots in Big Wells refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Catarina before you request a deed or survey.
Getting your bearings
Carrizo Springs holds the county offices, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Asherton, Big Wells, Brundage, and Carrizo Hill. Roughly 8,257 people live in Dimmit County (Census estimate, 2023) on some 1,329 square miles. Dimmit County was formed in 1858, so old deeds can run back a long way.

Recorded documents worth pulling
If you're looking near Big Wells, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county sit with the County Clerk. For a parcel near Big Wells, have ready the book and page from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
