Looking for a LaMoure County plat book? These atlases map who owns rural land, page by page, useful for farms near Berlin. What this county guide covers: what's in a plat book, where to find editions, and the free online map that stays current for land near Kulm.
Getting started with the LaMoure County plat book
For a parcel near Jud, plat books are commercial atlases, that map ownership across the countryside, often organized by township.
Pulling up a parcel
Parcels around Alfred appear on the LaMoure County gWorks map, which opens without registering. When a rural tract has no street number, follow the nearest road on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, and that holds around Alfred too. If the land is near Jud, save the parcel ID before closing the panel; every office in the county will want it.
Buying or borrowing a copy
Editions come and go depending on publishers, so ask at the courthouse, extension office or a local library near Kulm.
A word on accuracy
For a tract near Alfred, listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on the ground. On ground around Marion, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Land on the county line
The county borders Barnes County, Dickey County, Logan County, McIntosh County, and Ransom County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Kulm may show up across two assessors' files, so open the adjacent map too. If you're looking near Bone Hill National Wildlife Refuge, the Platbookmapper state page lists every neighboring county map for North Dakota.
A quick look at the area
LaMoure holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Berlin, Dickey, Edgeley, and Jud, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 4,096 people call LaMoure County home (Census estimate, 2023) across roughly 1,146 square miles. LaMoure County was formed in 1873, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Features like Bone Hill National Wildlife Refuge help you orient on the aerial.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Bone Hill National Wildlife Refuge belong with the Director of Tax Equalization, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Kulm are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
The free online alternative
For current names, use the LaMoure County gWorks map, across the county.
Who uses plat books
Buyers and seed dealers around Dickey rely on them to see ownership across many tracts at once.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Bone Hill National Wildlife Refuge, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Marion keeps working without signal.
Printing your own
Screenshot each section of the viewer around Jud to build your own up-to-date atlas.
Atlas or legal document
For a parcel near Berlin, a plat book is not a recorded plat: the recorded plat at the County Recorder is a legal document, and the atlas is just a guide.
How land is described here
North Dakota follows the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Kulm is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Marion can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Kulm when you talk to a surveyor.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
For property near Edgeley, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county sit with the County Recorder. If the land is near Alfred, bring the instrument number listed on the parcel record to skip a name search.
