Planning a hunt near Tilden? The Madison County hunting map is really two maps: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. This Madison County guide covers: where public hunting land is mapped, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and how to ask for permission.
Getting started with the Madison County hunting map
Out toward Tilden, public hunting areas are mapped by Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, including wildlife management areas and other access programs where they exist.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the Madison County gWorks map; it includes each assessed parcel around Tilden and Kalamazoo. Without an address in hand, follow the nearest road on the aerial and click the parcel itself, which applies near Enola as much as anywhere. For a tract near Warnerville, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every clerk in the county will want it.
Who owns the ground
For private ground, the Madison County gWorks map is the free source, and each tract near Norfolk lists an owner.
Getting a yes
For a parcel near Meadow Grove, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and respect a no.
Good habits afield
Respect livestock and crops around Kalamazoo, and tell someone where you'll be; owners remember good guests.
Scouting from the aerial
Switch to aerial imagery near Tilden, travel corridors and edges stand out; match each spot to its parcel.
Limits of the parcel data
For a home near Enola, listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real boundary on the ground. With a lot near Norfolk, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Enola, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Emerick is a good backup.
Rules and responsibility
Seasons, licenses and trespass laws are set by the state, and trespass rules differ by state wherever you hunt near Newman Grove.
Getting your bearings
Madison is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Smaller places on the map include Newman Grove, Norfolk, Tilden, and Meadow Grove. Around 35,627 people call Madison County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over about 573 square miles. Features like Elkhorn River are easy to spot when you zoom out.
Recorded documents worth pulling
For a parcel near Emerick, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the Register of Deeds. Inherited tracts near Enola can sit on a long string of deeds, so a title company is worth hiring before a purchase.
Sections, lots and bearings
Nebraska is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Emerick is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Newman Grove vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near Meadow Grove when you talk to a surveyor.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Tilden go to the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Newman Grove go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Madison County touches Antelope County, Boone County, Pierce County, Platte County, and Stanton County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Tilden can show up in two county records, so look at the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. In and around Warnerville, our state page lists every neighboring county map across Nebraska.
