When a listing near Aquilla mentions a lot number, the Hillsboro plat map is where those numbers come from. This Hillsboro guide covers: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Who keeps the Hillsboro plat map
For a subdivision near Abbott, the deed usually cites the plat; that makes the request quick.
Getting to the right map
Go first to the Hill CAD interactive map; it covers every tax parcel around Aquilla and Whitney.

Hillsboro, TX: the basics
Hillsboro sits in Hill County, Texas, which means parcel data comes from the county. Hillsboro is also the county seat, handy when you need recorded documents. If you're looking near Carl's Corner, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the city limits toward Whitney generally answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around Whitney, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
