People who grew up near Copperas Cove remember the Lampasas County plat book as the book that named every farm. Here's what a plat book is, where to look for one in Lampasas County, and the free official map that stays current between editions.
What's inside a county plat book
Private publishers compile plat books from county records, so a county edition is a snapshot of who owned land near Lometa the year it was printed. Deeds and recorded plats, not the atlas, still govern land near Adamsville in the county.
Finding the tract on the Lampasas County map
The county's own public map is the Lampasas CAD interactive map, built on a BIS Consulting map viewer, and it opens without an account for parcels in Lometa and the rest of the county. Rural accounts near Copperas Cove list an abstract in the legal description; copy it with the county property ID. Our Lampasas County, TX page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Copperas Cove in one place.
Finding a printed Lampasas County plat book
Whether a current Lampasas County edition exists varies, so ask locally in Lometa before ordering; county offices frequently know if one is in print. An old atlas can help trace when a tract close to Copperas Cove split off from a larger farm.
Reading a Lampasas County atlas page
Plat book pages for Lampasas County most frequently include an index of owners, so you can track down a family name near Lometa without knowing the township. Small parcels and town lots in Adamsville are frequently too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. Genealogists in Texas frequently pair an old Lampasas County atlas with deed records to follow a farm through the generations.
