The official viewer behind the Easton GIS map
Parcel maps here are usually run by the county, not the town, which makes the Maryland FINDER Online the main source for lots in Easton.
The free map to start with
Go first to the Maryland FINDER Online; it maps every assessed parcel around Trappe and Oxford. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, and that holds around Oxford too. In and around Queen Anne, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Printing and saving
Print or screenshot the parcel near Saint Michaels with its ID visible, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
City limits and county records
Easton is part of Talbot County, Maryland, which means parcel data comes from the county. Easton is also the county seat, which puts the Clerk of the Circuit Court (land records) close by. For a tract near Saint Michaels, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the town limits toward Oxford generally answers to county rules instead.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Saint Michaels sit with the Clerk of the Circuit Court (land records). For land near Trappe, have ready the document number from the tax record and the lookup takes minutes.
