Looking for places to hunt around Midland? Think of the Martin County hunting map as two layers: state-managed land plus the county's parcel boundaries. In this county guide: where public hunting land is mapped, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and how to ask for permission around Midland.
The Martin County hunting map: start here
Out toward Tarzan, start with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for public areas, with rules that vary by area.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the Martin County parcel viewer; it includes every tax parcel around Lenorah and Ackerly. With a lot near Stanton, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. If the land is near Lenorah, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Sections, lots and bearings
Tracts outside towns near Midland commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Town lots near Stanton are typically described by lot and block, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Ackerly for any title or survey request.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Ackerly, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Stanton and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Private land and parcel lines
For private ground, the Martin County parcel viewer is the free source, with owner names for tracts near Ackerly.
Getting a yes
Out toward Stanton, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Places you'll see on the map
Stanton is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Ackerly, Midland, Lenorah, and Tarzan, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 5,216 people call Martin County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over about 915 square miles. Martin County dates to 1884, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Which office to call
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Ackerly looks off belong with the appraisal district, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Lenorah need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Reading terrain
Switch to aerial imagery near Tarzan, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; match each spot to its parcel.
Staying legal
Check Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for seasons and licensing, and trespass rules differ by state wherever you hunt near Ackerly.
Recorded documents worth pulling
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the viewer just points to it, and that holds around Ackerly too. For property near Stanton, use the book and page listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Before you lean on the lines
On ground around Ackerly, listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on the ground. For property near Tarzan, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.

Ground near Lenorah that runs to the line may show up in two county records, so open the adjacent map before you assume the acreage.
