Planning a hunt near Ashby? Think of the Grant County hunting map as two layers: public areas from Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and private lines from the county. In this Grant County guide: where public hunting land is mapped, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and getting landowner permission the right way.
Getting started with the Grant County hunting map
For a parcel near Whitman, start with Nebraska Game and Parks Commission for public areas, with rules that vary by area.
Where the parcel data lives
Your first stop is the Grant County gWorks map; it includes each tax parcel from Hyannis to Ashby. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, which applies near Hyannis as much as anywhere. If the land is near Whitman, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Who owns the ground
The Grant County gWorks map shows private parcel lines, and each tract near Ashby lists an owner.
Being a good guest
Leave gates as you found them on land near Ashby, and tell someone where you'll be; owners remember good guests.
Which office to call
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Whitman looks off go to the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near Hyannis need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Next door to Grant County
The county touches Arthur County, Cherry County, Garden County, Hooker County, and Sheridan County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map, especially near Whitman. A tract near the line by Hyannis can show up across two assessors' files, so open the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. If the land is near Hyannis, the Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map across Nebraska.
Before you lean on the lines
For land near Ashby, listed acreage is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor sets the real lines on the ground. Closer to Hyannis, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Getting a yes
For a home near Whitman, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and respect a no.

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Ashby can be irregular.

Taking the map into the field

Deeds, plats and who keeps them
With a lot near Whitman, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the Register of Deeds. For a home near Ashby, use the document number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
