Looking for a Logan County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, useful for farms near Sterling. In this Logan County guide: how the atlas is organized, where to find editions, and the free online map that stays current.
Getting started with the Logan County plat book
If the land is near Proctor, plat books are commercial atlases, showing rural owners and tract lines, usually township by township.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Colorado Public Parcel Map; it maps every assessed parcel from Proctor to Peetz. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, which applies near Iliff as much as anywhere. For a tract near Peetz, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
Places you'll see on the map
Sterling holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Crook, Fleming, Iliff, and Merino. Around 20,619 people live in Logan County (Census estimate, 2023) across some 1,839 square miles. Logan County dates to 1887, so old deeds can run back a long way. Features like North Sterling State Park help you orient on the aerial.
How land is described here
Colorado follows the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Padroni reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Dailey odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Iliff before you request a deed or survey.
Editions and availability
Libraries near North Sterling State Park sometimes keep past atlases, which helps when tracing a farm's history.
Making your own township pages
Screenshot each section of the viewer around Sterling and keep them in a binder for the truck.
Before you lean on the lines
For property near Saint Petersburg, the acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real lines on the ground. In and around Saint Petersburg, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Atwood, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Saint Petersburg and its lines is a good backup.
Who handles what
Recorded documents for a parcel near Crook sit in the index kept by the County Clerk and Recorder, sometimes only in person. Building or septic questions for a lot near Dailey go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Current ownership online
For current names, use the Colorado Public Parcel Map, across the county, and that holds around Merino too.
Common uses
Buyers and seed dealers around Proctor rely on them to see ownership across many tracts at once.
Plat book vs. recorded plat
For a home near Merino, a plat book is not a recorded plat: the recorded plat at the County Clerk and Recorder is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Backing up the map with records
For a parcel near Atwood, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the County Clerk and Recorder. For land near Saint Petersburg, bring the instrument number from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
Land on the county line
Logan County meets Morgan County, Phillips County, Sedgwick County, Washington County, and Weld County, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by Peetz may be split in two county records, so check the neighboring map as well. If you're looking near Fleming, our state page links each neighboring county map across Colorado.

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.
