If a legal description for land in Milliken cites a lot number, the Milliken plat map is where those numbers come from. What this Milliken guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
The Milliken plat map: start here
For land around Gilcrest, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; that makes the request quick.
The viewer Weld County publishes
Begin with the Weld County parcel viewer; it includes every assessed parcel in the county, Johnstown included. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, whether the land is near Berthoud or elsewhere in the county. For property near Greeley, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real lines for a parcel near Platteville. For acreage around Evans, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Evans are filed with the County Clerk and Recorder. Older tracts near Evans may go back through many deeds, so a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
When there's no plat
Acreage around Evans outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Milliken, CO: the basics
Milliken is part of Weld County, Colorado, which means parcel data comes from the county. Out toward Johnstown, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the city limits near Berthoud generally follows county rules rather than the town's.

Around 359,442 people call Weld County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over some 3,985 square miles. Weld County was formed in 1861, and some chains of title near Greeley are long. Landmarks such as Pawnee National Grassland make handy reference points on the map near Platteville.

Amended plats
An amended plat may change lots around Platteville, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; street vacations near Johnstown show up in the records too.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Weld County meets Adams County, Boulder County, Broomfield County, Larimer County, and Logan County, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by Gilcrest can show up in two county records, so open the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. For a tract near Evans, the Platbookmapper state page links each neighboring county map for Colorado.
