The printed Dodge County plat book and the online parcel map answer the same question, who owns the land near Mayville, in different ways. We'll cover what's in one, where Dodge County copies turn up, and how the county's free map fills the gaps.
How to use the Dodge County plat book
Private publishers compile plat books from county records, so a county edition is a snapshot of who owned land near Mayville the year it was printed. It's different from a recorded plat, which is the official survey drawing for a subdivision in Mayville filed with the county.
Opening the Dodge County parcel viewer
Dodge County publishes its parcels on the Dodge County Beacon site, which runs on Schneider Geospatial's Beacon platform, free to use for a lot in Mayville or a piece of ground near Hartford. Search a Hartford address on the county search page, read the report, then jump to the map to see that parcel's outline. Our Dodge County, WI page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Hartford in one place.
Current and older editions
Whether a current Dodge County edition exists varies, so ask locally in Mayville before ordering; county offices frequently know if one is in print. Collectors and genealogists prize old Dodge County atlases as they display farm names and owners near Burnett long before online maps.
What a plat book page lists near Juneau
A typical atlas page for a township near Juneau lists sections, roads and streams, with each ownership block labeled. Small parcels and town lots in Juneau are frequently too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. If you use a plat book for hunting permission near Juneau, recheck the owner on the county map first.
