Old copies of the Gibson County plat book turn up at auctions and in kitchen drawers around Trenton, and new ones are harder to track down. We'll cover what's in one, where Gibson County copies turn up, and how the county's free map fills the gaps.
How to use the Gibson County plat book
Think of the Gibson County plat book as a bound, printed version of ownership: township pages, owner names on each tract, and road maps for places like Humboldt. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Humboldt; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.

Current and older editions
Whether a current Gibson County edition exists varies, so ask locally in Medina before ordering; county offices frequently know if one is in print. An old atlas can help trace when a tract near Humboldt split off from a larger farm.
The free online alternative
