When a deed near Shiocton says lot and block, the Little Chute plat map is where those numbers come from. In this Little Chute guide: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Tracking down the Little Chute plat map
For land around Black Creek, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; use it to request a copy.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the Outagamie County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each tax parcel in the county, Black Creek included. In and around Black Creek, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. With a lot near Greenville, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Where Little Chute fits in
Little Chute is part of Outagamie County, Wisconsin, and the county assessor maps its lots. For land near Combined Locks, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits out by Hortonville generally follows county rules instead.
Before you lean on the lines
Acreage on the record is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor sets the real lines for a parcel near Combined Locks. Records update in batches, so a recent sale near Combined Locks may not show yet.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Outagamie County borders Brown County, Calumet County, Shawano County, Waupaca County, and Winnebago County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground near Greenville that runs to the line can show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map as well. For property near Greenville, our state page lists each bordering county map for Wisconsin.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Hortonville, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Hortonville with its ID is a good backup.
Two different maps
The Outagamie County ArcGIS parcel map draws parcels for taxes, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Combined Locks sit with the Register of Deeds. Inherited tracts near Shiocton can go back through a long string of deeds, so a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
Outagamie County in a few facts
Appleton serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Kimberly, Combined Locks, Greenville, and Black Creek, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 193,234 people live in Outagamie County (Census estimate, 2023) on roughly 638 square miles. Outagamie County was organized in 1852, and some chains of title near Greenville are long.
Reading the legal description
Wisconsin is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Hortonville reference sections and townships. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Black Creek can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Hortonville when you talk to a surveyor.
Amended plats
Lots near Greenville can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, so check for later filings; street vacations near Kimberly show up in the records too.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Hortonville go to the county real property listing office, the office behind the parcel record. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Combined Locks are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Reading the plat sheet
Utility or drainage strips on a lot in Little Chute can block a shed or pool; read the notes on the sheet.
Getting a copy
For a home near Kimberly, many recorder offices offer an online index, otherwise call or visit with the reference; copy fees are usually small.
Metes and bounds instead
Rural land near Combined Locks that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.

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.
