Old copies of the LaSalle Parish plat book turn up at auctions and in kitchen drawers around Urania, and new ones are harder to track down. Below is how to track one down for LaSalle Parish, LA, and what the online map does better.
What a LaSalle Parish plat book is
Think of the LaSalle Parish plat book as a bound, printed version of ownership: township pages, owner names on each tract, and road maps for places like Olla. It's different from a recorded plat, which is the official survey drawing for a subdivision in Urania filed with the parish.
Finding the tract on the LaSalle Parish map
The parish's own public map is the LaSalle Parish parcel viewer, and it opens without an account for parcels in Olla and the rest of the parish. Click any LaSalle Parish parcel near Olla to open its record: owner, parcel ID and assessed acreage are most frequently listed. If the official address for the LaSalle Parish, LA map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for Olla and the rest of the parish.
LaSalle Parish land records
Deeds and plats behind the LaSalle Parish map are kept by the parish's recording office; the official LaSalle Parish website names which office that is. Easements and access rights near Olla live in recorded documents, so read the deed, not just the parish map.
Current and older editions
Try the library in Urania or a local historical society for older LaSalle Parish editions; libraries sometimes keep past atlases for reference. An old atlas can help trace when a property near Olla split off from a larger farm.
Getting oriented in LaSalle Parish, LA
Jena is the parish seat, and Olla, Tullos, and Urania are among the other towns on the parish map. Smaller places such as Good Pine, Midway, and Trout appear on the parish map as little clusters of lots. Roughly 625 square miles of land and about 14,800 residents (2023 estimate) make up LaSalle Parish. Beyond the town lots in Olla, expect big rural parcels across the parish.
Reading a LaSalle Parish atlas page
Many atlases add rural residence listings and road maps, handy on back roads near Good Pine. Small parcels and town lots in Jena are frequently too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. For a land purchase near Urania, rely on the parish parcel record and a title search, not an atlas.
