People who grew up near Three Rivers remember the Live Oak County plat book as the book that named every farm. We'll cover what's in one, where Live Oak County copies turn up, and how the county's free map fills the gaps.
What's inside a county plat book
Private publishers compile plat books from county records, so a county edition is a snapshot of who owned land near Three Rivers the year it was printed. Deeds and recorded plats, not the atlas, still govern land near Ray Point in the county.
Opening the Live Oak County parcel viewer
The county's own public map is the Texas county CAD map, built on the ProdigyCAD maps portal, and it opens without an account for parcels in Three Rivers and the rest of the county.

Bookmark our Live Oak County page too; it tracks the official Texas link if it moves and lists the maps around Three Rivers.
