Old copies of the Huntingdon County plat book turn up at auctions and in kitchen drawers around Cassville, and new ones are harder to track down. Below is how to track one down for Huntingdon County, PA, and what the online map does better.
Plat books vs. recorded plats in Huntingdon County
A plat book, sometimes called a land atlas, shows each township in Huntingdon County as a page, with ownership blocks labeled by owner name and approximate acreage. It's different from a recorded plat, which is the official survey drawing for a subdivision in Broad Top City filed with the county.
Opening the Huntingdon County parcel viewer
Huntingdon County publishes its parcels on the Huntingdon County ArcGIS parcel map, which runs on an Esri ArcGIS web map, free to use for a lot in Broad Top City or a property near Cassville. Most people track down their Huntingdon County tract fastest by searching an address in Cassville, then clicking the outline. If the official address for the Huntingdon County, PA map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for Broad Top City and the rest of the county.
Finding a printed Huntingdon County plat book
Whether a current Huntingdon County edition exists varies, so ask locally in Broad Top City before ordering; county offices often know if one is in print. Older editions are useful for family history around Alexandria, showing who held a farm decades ago.
Using the Huntingdon County map as a modern plat book
For current ownership, the free Huntingdon County ArcGIS parcel map beats any printed book: owners update as deeds are processed, and you can click any property near Broad Top City. Phone signal can be thin near McConnellstown, so save the parcel IDs you need before you head out.
Huntingdon County at a glance
Town lots cluster around Huntingdon, the county seat, and Alexandria, Birmingham, Broad Top City, and Cassville. Smaller places such as Allenport, McConnellstown, and Calvin appear on the county map as little clusters of lots. Census Bureau estimates put Huntingdon County at about 43,514 residents in 2023 on roughly 875 square miles of land. The Huntingdon County map mixes subdivision lots near Birmingham with farm and wooded tracts farther out. With a founding date of 1787, Huntingdon County has long chains of title on some rural tracts.
Reading a Huntingdon County atlas page
Many atlases add rural residence listings and road maps, handy on back roads near McConnellstown. Small parcels and town lots in Dudley are often 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 Dudley, recheck the landowner on the county map first.
