Trying to understand lot lines near Mount Morris? What you want is the Geneseo plat map, as it records the lot layout that deeds refer to. This Geneseo guide covers: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Getting started with the Geneseo plat map
For a lot in Geneseo, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; use it to request a copy.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the NYS Tax Parcels Public layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it covers every tax parcel in the county, Leicester included. For property near Livonia, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For a parcel near Leicester, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Neighboring parcel maps
Livingston County touches Allegany County, Genesee County, Monroe County, Ontario County, and Steuben County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Mount Morris may be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map as well. The Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map for New York.
Amended plats
Lots near York can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Geneseo and the county around it
Geneseo lies within Livingston County, New York, so its parcels are on the county's map. As the county seat, Geneseo hosts the courthouse, so deeds and plats are filed in town. In and around Mount Morris, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits near Conesus generally follows county rules, not municipal ones.
Recorded documents worth pulling
For anything that matters, pull the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the parcel map near Mount Morris only summarizes it. For land near Leicester, use the instrument number shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
How a plat differs from the tax map
The tax map on the NYS Tax Parcels Public layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer is a summary, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
What a plat shows
If the land is near Mount Morris, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Conesus go to the county Real Property Tax Services office, since that office keeps the assessment data. Questions about what you can build around Leicester need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.

Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Leicester, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Leicester keeps working without signal.
Metes and bounds instead
Acreage around Leicester outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Limits of the parcel data
The acreage figure is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real lines on land around Livonia. Around Mount Morris, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Reading the legal description
Older tracts around Mount Morris commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Subdivision lots in York refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Leicester when you talk to a surveyor.
Requesting the plat
On ground around Mount Morris, some counties put plat images online, while others require a visit or a request; copy fees are usually small.
