When a deed near Easton says lot and block, the Lansing plat map is where those numbers come from. Covered here for Lansing: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Who keeps the Lansing plat map
For a lot in Lansing, the deed usually cites the plat; use it to request a copy.
The free map to start with
Go first to the ORKA parcel viewer; it covers each assessed parcel in the county, Easton included. For land near Linwood, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. Out toward Linwood, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
City limits and county records
Lansing lies within Leavenworth County, Kansas, so its parcels are on the county's map. For land near Basehor, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits toward Easton often answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Offices that can help
For assessment questions about property around Linwood belong with the County Appraiser, since that office keeps the assessment data. Questions about what you can build around Tonganoxie need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
A quick look at the area
Leavenworth holds the county offices, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Basehor, Bonner Springs, and Tonganoxie, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 83,518 people call Leavenworth County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 463 square miles. Leavenworth County was organized in 1855, so old deeds can run back a long way.
When there's no plat
Rural land near Tonganoxie that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land near Basehor.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
If the tax map and plat differ near Easton, go with the plat and a surveyor's work.
Lots, blocks and easements
Recorded easements around Basehor limit where you can build or fence; check the plat notes and any covenants.
A word on accuracy
Listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines for a parcel near Basehor. Records update in batches, so a recent sale near Leavenworth can take weeks to appear.
Next door to Leavenworth County
Leavenworth County touches Atchison County, Douglas County, Jefferson County, Johnson County, and Wyandotte County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Leavenworth that runs to the line may be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. For property near Linwood, the Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map for Kansas.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Leavenworth, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Leavenworth and its lines keeps working without signal.
Reading the legal description
Kansas follows the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Leavenworth is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Leavenworth odd-sized. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Tonganoxie for any title or survey request.
Getting a copy
With a lot near Basehor, many recorder offices offer an online index, while others require a visit or a request; small fees are common.
Amended plats
An amended plat may change lots around Leavenworth, so check for later filings; street vacations near Tonganoxie show up in the records too.
Backing up the map with records
On ground around Linwood, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county sit with the Register of Deeds. Older tracts near Tonganoxie may trace back through several deeds, and a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Questions about the Lansing plat map
Who has recorded plats for land near Linwood?
Short answer: recorded plats near Tonganoxie are filed with the Register of Deeds; small copy fees are common.
What is a lot and block description around Basehor?

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
