Towns, terrain and land across Lebanon County
Parcel searches in Lebanon County tend to center on Lebanon, the county seat, plus Cleona, Cornwall, Jonestown, and Mount Gretna. Smaller places such as Annville, Avon, and Campbelltown show up as clusters of lots along the roads. Organized in 1813, Lebanon County has a long paper trail, and early deeds may cite landmarks that no longer exist. The Census Bureau puts Lebanon County at about 362 square miles of land and an estimated 144,252 people (2023). Built-up areas around Jonestown mean most clicks land on platted lots; larger undeveloped tracts are rarer and get attention fast.
Work and land use in Lebanon County
Lebanon County had 2,799 business establishments in 2022 (County Business Patterns), led by other services, retail trade, and health care and social assistance. What stands out is petroleum and coal products manufacturing, primary metal manufacturing, and furniture manufacturing: those sectors make up a much larger slice of local businesses than they do nationally. If you're pricing a homesite near Cleona, remember that the county's manufacturing workforce is part of the buyer pool. That context helps when you read the parcel pattern around Cornwall: jobs and land use move together.
Where to open the official Lebanon County GIS map
Open the Lebanon County ArcGIS parcel map (built on an Esri ArcGIS web map); it is the county's own published map. A parcel number from a Lebanon County tax bill is the most precise search; failing that, an owner name or a click on the map near Myerstown works. Our Lebanon County listing carries the same link plus neighboring maps.
Acreage and vacant lot search
To use the Lebanon County GIS map for a vacant land search:
- Start on the outskirts of Mount Gretna, where empty lots are easy to spot between the houses on the aerial layer.
- Click each empty tract near Fredericksburg and note the owner, acreage and mailing address.
- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Mount Gretna to sanity-check an asking price.
- Measure the road frontage on the map; a sliver of frontage on a road outside Cleona may not be enough for a driveway permit.
- Ask the local offices serving Palmyra about building permits and septic rules before you buy.
For a tract near Cleona with no road frontage, see how to tell if land is landlocked.
Who uses the Lebanon County parcel map
Different people come to the Lebanon County parcel map for different reasons. A builder sizing up an infill lot near Jonestown can check its width, depth and road frontage in a couple of minutes. Someone house hunting in Jonestown can check whether a yard really is as big as the listing implies, and who owns the open lot behind it. Investors comb the area around Myerstown for unbuilt parcels and absentee owners, two clues that a tract might be for sale. An owner in Myerstown planning a fence or an outbuilding pulls the parcel first, then the recorded plat.
What the Lebanon County GIS map shows about lot lines
Parcel boundaries on the Lebanon County viewer are drawn to keep tax accounts straight, so small offsets from the true line are expected. Out toward Fredericksburg, boundaries follow bearings and old landmarks rather than a grid, and the parcel layer shows it. For rural ground near Fredericksburg, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
Behind the map: land records in Lebanon County
For land near Cleona, the parcel record is the index; the recorded deed is the source. Recording offices go by different titles from state to state, including register of deeds, recorder, county clerk and clerk of court; the official Lebanon County website names the one that handles deeds. Easements and rights-of-way are usually in recorded documents, not on the parcel map, so read the deed itself for a tract near Fredericksburg.
Nearby parcel maps

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.
