Buying land in Colorado without looking at the parcel map is like buying a car without opening the hood. For property around Winter Park, the Grand County plat map is free and public.
This guide walks through the official link, the kinds of land you'll find around Granby, and what to do when the map and the ground don't agree.
Where to open the official Grand County plat map
Parcels from Granby to Parshall are on the Grand County ArcGIS parcel map, which the county runs on an Esri ArcGIS web map. Zoom until the lot lines show up around Fraser, then click; the pop-up gives the parcel ID, owner and acreage. Our Grand County listing carries the same link plus neighboring maps.
Reading property lines on the Grand County plat map
Lines on the map show roughly where one parcel near Fraser ends and the next begins; the exact spot is a surveyor's call. Because Colorado is a section-township-range state, the legal description of a rural tract in Grand County reads like a grid reference that you can match to the section lines on the map. For walking the corners yourself, our guide to finding property corners helps; for a legal answer, call a Colorado licensed surveyor.
Grand County at a glance: towns and land
Fraser, Granby, Grand Lake, and Kremmling fill out the town list, and Hot Sulphur Springs is where the county seat sits. Don't overlook unincorporated places like Parshall, Tabernash, and Radium, where rural homesites often come up. Census Bureau estimates show 15,935 residents in 2023 and around 1,846 square miles of land in the county. Click anywhere between Winter Park and Granby and you are likely to land on a big ranch, farm or timber parcel rather than a house lot. On the parcel layer, Arapaho National Forest and Arapaho National Recreation Area show up as public ground, and the private tracts along their edges are worth checking line by line.
Private and public hunting ground in Grand County
Hunters working the country toward the Larimer County line can use the parcel map to put a name on every woodlot and field. If you're hunting public ground like Arapaho National Forest and Arapaho National Recreation Area, use the parcel map to see where the public boundary meets private land. The Colorado Parks and Wildlife handles licenses, seasons and public-land maps for Grand County. In the field near Hot Sulphur Springs, respect posted signs and painted boundaries even where the map line looks different.
Behind the map: land records in Grand County
The map near Granby is only as good as the deeds behind it, and those are kept in the county's recording office. Check the county government website to see which office records deeds for land near Parshall. The parcel record often lists a deed book and page or an instrument number, which is how you request a copy of the recorded deed for a tract near Hot Sulphur Springs.
Who uses the Grand County parcel map
Different people come to the Grand County parcel map for different reasons.
- For hunters in Grand County, the map turns a wall of trees into named ownerships, which is the first step toward getting permission.
- Land shoppers looking between Winter Park and Fraser measure road frontage on the map and check whether a tract is landlocked.

Data limits to keep in mind
A lot in Grand Lake that sold last month may still show the previous owner on the map. For a rural tract near Parshall, get acreage from a survey, not the tax record, if it matters for a deal.
Work and land use in Grand County
By the Census Bureau's 2022 count, 933 business establishments operated in Grand County. Construction had the most, followed by accommodation and food services and real estate and rental and leasing. Compared with the nation, the county has an unusually high share of businesses in mining (except oil and gas), beverage and tobacco manufacturing, and accommodation (hotels, motels, RV parks and camps). In Grand County, minerals are often severed from the surface, so the owner on the parcel map may not own what's underneath. It's useful background when you're judging whether a tract near Grand Lake will hold its value.
