The printed Greene County plat book and the online parcel map answer the same question, who owns the land near Catskill, in different ways. Below is how to track one down for Greene County, NY, and what the online map does better.
How to use the Greene County plat book
Think of the Greene County plat book as a bound, printed version of ownership: township pages, owner names on each tract, and road maps for places like Coxsackie. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Coxsackie; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Search Greene County parcels by owner, address or ID
There's no separate Greene County parcel site to hunt for; the NYS Tax Parcels Public layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer carries the county's parcels along with the rest of New York. Use the search box for an address in Greenville or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a parcel near Coxsackie. If the official address for the Greene County, NY map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for Greenville and the rest of the county.
Towns and land across Greene County
Town lots cluster around Catskill, the county seat, and Ashland, Athens, Cairo, and Coxsackie. Smaller places such as Cementon, East Durham, and Haines Falls appear on the county map as little clusters of lots. Roughly 647 square miles of land and about 47,062 residents (2023 estimate) make up Greene County. The Greene County map mixes subdivision lots near Greenville with farm and wooded tracts farther out.
Deeds and plats behind the Greene County map
For land near Greenville, the deed itself lives in the county recording office, and the map is an index to it. Easements and access rights near Ashland live in recorded documents, so read the deed, not just the county map.
Current and older editions
Whether a current Greene County edition exists varies, so ask locally in Catskill before ordering; county offices frequently know if one is in print. Collectors and genealogists prize old Greene County atlases as they display farm names and owners near Jefferson Heights long before online maps.
What a plat book page shows near Coxsackie
Plat book pages for Greene County most frequently include an index of owners, so you can track down a family name near Cairo without knowing the township. Small parcels and town lots in Coxsackie are frequently too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. If you use a plat book for hunting permission near Coxsackie, recheck the owner on the county map first.
Editions, deeds and printouts
Farm families near Cairo frequently keep successive editions of the Greene County plat book, which together display how ownership shifted over decades. Saving PDFs of the county map around Jefferson Heights gives you an offline reference when the signal drops.
Work and land use in Greene County
County Business Patterns counted 1,204 business establishments in Greene County for 2022, led by retail trade, accommodation and food services, and construction. Compared with national shares, Greene County leans toward museums, historical sites and parks and accommodation (hotels, motels, RV parks and camps), which shapes demand for land near Durham.
Current owners without a printed book
Between editions, use the NYS Tax Parcels Public layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it shows owners, acreage and parcel IDs for land near Coxsackie at no cost. Print a screenshot of the tracts around Catskill if you want a paper copy in the truck.
