Want a copy of the Logan County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, useful for farms near Lakeview. Covered here for Logan County: what's in a plat book, where to look for printed copies, and how the county viewer fills the gaps.
Tracking down a Logan County plat book
For property near Big Springs, a plat book is a privately published atlas, with owner names on each tract, usually township by township.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Lots and tracts near Chippewa Park appear on the Logan County ArcGIS parcel map, free to use and open without a login. When a rural tract has no street number, follow US Route 68 on the aerial and select the outline, whether the land is near De Graff or elsewhere in the county. In and around Lakeview, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Finding a printed edition
Not every county has a current edition, try the county extension office, recorder's office or library near De Graff.
A homemade atlas
Print parcel views near Huntsville township by township to build your own up-to-date atlas.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Chippewa Park, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Big Springs and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Recorded documents worth pulling
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed from the County Recorder; the viewer just points to it, which applies near Quincy as much as anywhere. In and around Bloom Center, inherited tracts in the county can trace back through many deeds, and a title company is worth hiring before a purchase.
The free online alternative
Between printed editions, the Logan County ArcGIS parcel map shows current owners, for tracts near Chippewa Park.
Who uses plat books
Buyers and seed dealers around Lakeview rely on them to see ownership across many tracts at once.
Offices that can help
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Chippewa Park go to the County Auditor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Building or septic questions for a lot near Quincy go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Not the same thing
For a tract near Lakeview, don't confuse the atlas with a recorded subdivision plat: the recorded plat at the County Recorder is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Reading the legal description
Older tracts around De Graff commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Subdivision lots in Chippewa Park refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Ridgeway when you talk to a surveyor.
Places you'll see on the map
Bellefontaine holds the county offices, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Belle Center, De Graff, Huntsville, and Lakeview. Roughly 46,057 people live in Logan County (Census estimate, 2023) across about 459 square miles. Logan County dates to 1818, so old deeds can run back a long way.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Logan County touches Auglaize County, Champaign County, Hardin County, Shelby County, and Union County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Ridgeway can show up across two assessors' files, so open the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. If you're looking near Lakeview, our state page lists every bordering county map across Ohio.
A word on accuracy
For a home near Lakeview, acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real lines on the ground. Records update in batches, so a fresh transfer around Ridgeway can take weeks to appear.

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.
