A Livingston County plat book is the township-by-township atlas farmers, hunters and land buyers around Lima have kept in the truck for generations. We'll cover what's in one, where Livingston County copies turn up, and how the county's free map fills the gaps.
How to use the Livingston County plat book
A plat book, sometimes called a land atlas, shows each township in Livingston County as a page, with ownership blocks labeled by owner name and rough acreage. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Conesus; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.

What a plat book page shows near Avon
