What a Lake and Peninsula Borough plat book is
Think of the Lake and Peninsula Borough plat book as a bound, printed version of ownership: township pages, owner names on each tract, and road maps for places like Port Heiden. It's different from a recorded plat, which is the official survey drawing for a subdivision in Pilot Point filed with the borough.
Finding the tract on the Lake and Peninsula Borough map
Lake and Peninsula Borough publishes its parcels on the Lake and Peninsula Borough Parcel Viewer, which runs on an Esri ArcGIS web map, free to use for a lot in Nondalton or a piece of ground near Egegik. Use the search box for an address in Nondalton or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a piece of ground near Egegik.

Where Lake and Peninsula Borough plat books turn up
