Getting started with the Goshen GIS map
Out toward Washingtonville, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Getting to the right map
Go first to the Orange County parcel viewer; it covers each assessed parcel from Washingtonville to Chester.

Closer to Middletown, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each clerk in the county will want it.
Troubleshooting the viewer
When the map won't open around Maybrook, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; the Platbookmapper county page tracks the current link.

On site with the map

Finding the right lot

Aerials, labels and overlays

Before you lean on the lines
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on land around Washingtonville. Closer to Kiryas Joel, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Owner, value and acreage
Recent sales on nearby lots around Washingtonville are a useful starting point; an appraiser is the real authority.
