Where the Ione GIS map lives
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, so for Ione the go-to is the Amador County ArcGIS parcel map.
The free map to start with

For a tract near Jackson, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Sections, lots and bearings

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Amador City odd-sized. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Sutter Creek for any title or survey request.
Where Ione fits in
