Trying to understand lot lines near Garden City? Start with the Evans plat map, since it shows lots, streets and easements as approved. Covered here for Evans: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Getting started with the Evans plat map

Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Weld County parcel viewer; it covers every assessed parcel in the county, Johnstown included. If you're looking near Garden City, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a home near Kersey, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each clerk in the county will want it.
City limits and county records
Evans sits in Weld County, Colorado, so its parcels are on the county's map. On ground around Kersey, City or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the town limits out by Milliken often answers to county rules, not municipal ones.

Around 359,442 people call Weld County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 3,985 square miles. Weld County was organized in 1861, and some chains of title near Johnstown are long. Features like Pawnee National Grassland make handy reference points on the map near Gilcrest.

Reading the legal description

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Gilcrest odd-sized. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Gilcrest when you talk to a surveyor.
When there's no plat
Acreage around Kersey outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.

Ground near Kersey that runs to the line can show up across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map as well.
