How to use the Indiana County plat book
Private publishers compile plat books from county records, so a county edition is a snapshot of who owned land near Blairsville the year it was printed. Deeds and recorded plats, not the atlas, still govern land near Coral in the county.
Search Indiana County parcels by owner, address or ID
For land around Cherry Tree, open the Indiana County ArcGIS parcel map (an Esri ArcGIS web map); it is the map Indiana County itself publishes. Use the search box for an address in Blairsville or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a parcel near Cherry Tree. Our Indiana County, PA page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Cherry Tree in one place.
Recorded documents in Indiana County, Pennsylvania
The parcel layer for Indiana County points back to recorded deeds and plats, kept by the county's recording office (its title varies by state). A deed book and page or instrument number on the county record is the quickest route to order the document for a lot in Blairsville.
Indiana County at a glance
Indiana is the county seat, and Armagh, Blairsville, Cherry Tree, and Clymer are among the other towns on the county map. Smaller places such as Alverda, Black Lick, and Chevy Chase Heights appear on the Indiana County map as little clusters of lots. Indiana County had an estimated 83,094 people in 2023 (Census Bureau), spread across about 827 square miles. The Indiana County map mixes subdivision lots near Ernest with farm and wooded tracts farther out. With a founding date of 1806, Indiana County has long chains of title on some rural tracts.
Current and older editions
Private publishers have printed plat books for many rural counties, but editions for Indiana County come and go; check at the courthouse, the extension office or a farm supply store in Blairsville. An old atlas can help trace when a parcel near Creekside split off from a larger farm.
Atlas details and limits
Plat book pages for Indiana County generally include an index of owners, so you can locate a family name near Creekside without knowing the township. Owner names in an older Indiana County edition may be decades out of date, so confirm on the county map before contacting anyone near Coral. Genealogists in Pennsylvania commonly pair an old Indiana County atlas with deed records to follow a farm through the generations.
Editions, deeds and printouts
Names in an older Indiana County atlas can lead you to the right deed in the grantor-grantee index for land near Coral. If you can't locate a printed edition, a screenshot of each township from the county map works as a decent homemade atlas for the area around Creekside.
The Indiana County economy in brief
