Tracking down the Lochbuie plat map
For a lot in Lochbuie, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; use it to request a copy.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Weld County parcel viewer; it covers each assessed parcel in the county, Hudson included. For property near Keenesburg, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For property near Dacono, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Replats and vacations
Lots near Keenesburg can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; street vacations near Dacono show up in the records too.
Lochbuie and the county around it
Lochbuie sits in Weld County, Colorado, and the county assessor maps its lots. Closer to Fort Lupton, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits near Dacono generally follows county rules rather than the town's.
When there's no plat
Rural land near Hudson that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.

Deeds, plats and who keeps them

Reading the plat sheet

What the map can't tell you
Listed acreage is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on land around Dacono. Owner names and values update on a schedule, so a recent sale near Fort Lupton can take weeks to appear.
Using it on a phone

Requesting the plat

Reading the legal description
