People who grew up near Scribner remember the Dodge County plat book as the book that named every farm. Below is how to track one down for Dodge County, NE, and what the online map does better.
What's inside a county plat book
A plat book, sometimes called a land atlas, displays each township in Dodge County as a page, with ownership blocks labeled by owner name and approximate acreage. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in North Bend; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Finding the tract on the Dodge County map
The county's own public map is the Dodge County gWorks map, built on a gWorks county GIS site, and it opens without an account for parcels in Hooper and the rest of the county. Most people track down their Dodge County tract fastest by searching an address in Inglewood, then clicking the outline. Our Dodge County, NE page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Inglewood in one place.
Finding a printed Dodge County plat book
Whether a current Dodge County edition exists varies, so ask locally in Scribner before ordering; county offices commonly know if one is in print. An old atlas can help trace when a property near North Bend split off from a larger farm.
What a plat book page displays near Scribner
Plat book pages for Dodge County generally include an index of owners, so you can track down a family name near North Bend without knowing the township. Owner names in an older Dodge County edition may be decades out of date, so confirm on the county map before contacting anyone near Centerville. For a land purchase near North Bend, rely on the county parcel record and a title search, not an atlas.
Old atlases and family history in Dodge County
