Somewhere between Wheatfield and the LaPorte County line is a tract you want to know more about. The Jasper County plat book is the free, official place to start.
We link the official viewer and the Jasper County page in the Platbookmapper directory, explain the records behind the map, and cover the questions buyers, builders and hunters ask most.
What the map covers, from Rensselaer to the back roads
Most of the platted lots cluster in and around Rensselaer (the county seat) and De Motte, Remington, and Wheatfield. The map also labels unincorporated places, Roselawn, Aix, and Asphaltum among them. Census Bureau estimates show 33,535 residents in 2023 and around 560 square miles of land in the county. Expect suburban-style lots near Wheatfield and plenty of rural ground once the subdivisions thin out.
Is there a current Jasper County plat book?
A plat book is the paper cousin of the online parcel map: a township-by-township atlas with owner names, handy in a truck near Rensselaer. Treat a printed edition as a handy field reference near Remington and the online map as the current record.
Work and land use in Jasper County
Of the 768 establishments the Census Bureau counted in Jasper County for 2022, the biggest groups were retail trade, construction, and other services. What stands out is agriculture and forestry support services, nonmetallic mineral product manufacturing, and truck transportation: those sectors make up a much larger slice of local businesses than they do nationally. If you're looking at wooded acreage near De Motte, compare recent aerials; logging can change a tract quickly.
Getting into the Jasper County Beacon site
The Jasper County Beacon site is the county's own public parcel viewer; it runs on Schneider Geospatial's Beacon platform. Search a Remington address or an owner name on the search page, then jump to the map view to see that parcel's lines. Our Jasper County, IN page keeps the current link if the official address changes.
Acreage and vacant lot search
Here's a simple routine for finding open ground in Jasper County using the parcel map:
- Follow the roads out of Rensselaer with aerials on and mark every tract without a rooftop.
- Open the record for each empty tract near De Motte and note whether the owner's mailing address is outside Jasper County.
- Trace the frontage on any tract near Dunns Bridge; without it, access depends on a recorded easement.
- Assessed values lag the market, but comparing tracts near Dunns Bridge still shows which ones the county rates higher.
- For a tract near Rensselaer, confirm zoning, septic suitability and flood status before you make an offer.

Who needs this map
For hobby-farm buyers near De Motte, the parcel map shows how a tract sits against its neighbors and the road. Unlisted land near De Motte sometimes turns up this way: an empty parcel, an absentee owner, and a polite letter. For a hunter with permission on one farm near De Motte, the parcel map shows exactly where that permission stops.
Property lines in Jasper County, Indiana
Parcel boundaries on the Jasper County viewer are drawn to keep tax accounts straight, so small offsets from the true line are expected. Indiana uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural deeds in Jasper County often describe land by section, township and range, and you can match the call to the grid on the map. For a fence, an addition or a dispute in Jasper County, budget for a licensed survey; it's the answer a court or a lender will accept.
Where Jasper County deeds and plats are kept
The map near Remington is only as good as the deeds behind it, and those are kept in the county's recording office. Names differ across states, so confirm on the official Jasper County site which office records deeds and plats. The parcel record often lists a deed book and page or an instrument number, which is how you request a copy of the recorded deed for a tract near Rensselaer.
Near the county line
