If a legal description for land in Fallon cites a lot number, you'll need the Fallon plat map to make sense of it. What this Fallon guide covers: where to request a copy, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
The Fallon plat map: start here
For land in the town Station, the deed usually cites the plat; that makes the request quick.
Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it maps every tax parcel in the county, Fallon Station included. Out toward Cold Springs, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For acreage in the town Station, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Amended plats
Lots in the town Station can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Fallon and the county around it
The town sits in Churchill County, Nevada, so its parcels are on the county's map, especially near Cold Springs. As the county seat, Fallon hosts the courthouse, so deeds and plats are filed in town. If the land is in the town Station, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the town limits toward Fallon Station usually follows county rules instead.
Getting your bearings
The town holds the county offices, home to the main records offices around Fallon Station. Smaller places on the map include Fallon Station and Cold Springs, each with its own cluster of lots. About 25,803 people live in Churchill County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across about 4,950 square miles. Features like Fallon National Wildlife Refuge are easy to spot when you zoom out from Cold Springs.
Taking the map into the field

How a plat differs from the tax map
If the tax map and plat differ near Cold Springs, trust the recorded documents over the GIS layer.
How land is described here
Nevada follows the Public Land Survey System, so deeds in the town Station reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections in the town Station odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land in this town Station when you talk to a surveyor.
Land outside a subdivision
Acreage around Cold Springs outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Before you sign anything, request the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the parcel line is a drawing of it, whether the land is near Cold Springs or elsewhere in the county. Long-held tracts in this town Station may sit on many deeds, so a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Reading the plat sheet
If the land is in the town Station, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Ordering the Fallon plat map
For land in the town Station, some counties put plat images online, otherwise call or visit with the reference; small fees are common.
Who handles what
For assessment questions about property around Cold Springs go to the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Cold Springs need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Land on the county line
Churchill County meets Lander County, Lyon County, Mineral County, Nye County, and Pershing County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground in the town Station that runs to the line may show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map too. For a parcel in this town Station, the Platbookmapper state page lists every bordering county map for Nevada.
Limits of the parcel data
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real corners for a parcel in this town Station. On ground in this town Station, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
