Plat map vs. parcel map
The tax map on the Uinta County parcel viewer is a summary, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
Lots, blocks and easements
Utility or drainage strips on a lot in Evanston stay with the land when it sells; check the plat notes and any covenants.

Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around Mountain View, so check for later filings; street vacations show up in the records too.
Reading the legal description

Limits of the parcel data
