Open tracts on the Logan County ArcGIS parcel map usually carry little or no building value, which helps when scanning around Chapmanville.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the Logan County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes each tax parcel around Man and Accoville. When a rural tract has no street number, zoom in from Amherstdale until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. If you're looking near Man, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
