Filtered Water for a Day Spent Finding Pins
The work is slow. The water is not optional.

Why this comes up
The work is slow. The water is not optional. Fill it at home. The pin search does not pass a spigot.
What to check on the map first
County GIS lines are assessment maps. They are not a survey, and a product will not redraw them.
Open Platbookmapper and choose the state. The directory sends you to the county viewer. Match the parcel ID before you trust a pin on an aerial photo.
A tool that matches the job
Shop the Water bottle filter when that is the job in front of you. Fill it at home. The pin search does not pass a spigot.
The limit
Filter water you hauled from a known tap, or water a lab has already tested. A steel crock does not make creek water safe.
The county viewer is the map. The product is only the tool you carry.
Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey.
