When a listing near Clyde Park mentions a lot number, you'll need the Livingston plat map to make sense of it. What this Livingston guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
The Livingston plat map: start here

The free map to start with
Go first to the Park County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every assessed parcel in the county, Clyde Park included. On ground around Cooke City, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it.

Land outside a subdivision

Livingston and the county around it
