The Lander County plat book: start here
Out toward Austin, plat books are commercial atlases, that map ownership across the countryside, often organized by township.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Your first stop is the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it maps each assessed parcel around Battle Mountain and Toiyabe National Forest. With a lot near Kingston, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For land near Kingston, save the parcel ID from that panel; each clerk in the county uses it to find the file.
Finding a printed edition
Libraries near Battle Mountain sometimes keep past atlases, which helps when tracing a farm's history.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
For anything that matters, pull the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the viewer just points to it, whether the land is near Pittsburg or elsewhere in the county. For land near Reese River, have ready the book and page from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Kingston, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Pittsburg helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Battle Mountain are handled by the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near Reese River are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Lander County borders Churchill County, Elko County, Eureka County, Humboldt County, and Nye County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground near Battle Mountain that runs to the line can show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map as well. Out toward Pittsburg, our state page links every bordering county map for Nevada.
Between editions
For current names, use the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer, across the county, whether the land is near Reese River or elsewhere in the county.
Sections, lots and bearings
Nevada is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Pittsburg cite section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Battle Mountain vary in size. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Toiyabe National Forest for any title or survey request.
Why people still buy them
