When a deed near Mingus says lot and block, look up the Mineral Wells plat map it refers to. This Mineral Wells guide covers: where to request a copy, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Tracking down the Mineral Wells plat map
For a lot in Mineral Wells, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Texas county CAD map; it includes each assessed parcel around Gordon and Mingus. For a parcel near Mingus, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For land near Gordon, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each clerk in the county asks for it first.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Gordon are handled by the appraisal district, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Gordon go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
A word on accuracy
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so a fence near Strawn often sits a few yards off the line on screen. Closer to Mingus, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Mineral Wells and the county around it
Mineral Wells sits in Palo Pinto County, Texas, which means parcel data comes from the county. With a lot near Gordon, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits toward Strawn often answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around Strawn, so check for later filings; street vacations near Graford show up in the records too.
How a plat differs from the tax map
The tax map on the Texas county CAD map is a summary, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Mingus, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Mingus and its lines keeps working without signal.
Lots, blocks and easements
Utility or drainage strips on a lot in Mineral Wells stay with the land when it sells; read the notes on the sheet.
The paper trail behind a parcel
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the viewer just points to it, and that holds around Graford too. For a home near Graford, have ready the book and page from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
Metes and bounds instead
Rural land near Graford that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land near Strawn.
Legal descriptions in Texas
Tracts outside towns near Graford commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Platted lots around Strawn usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Mingus when you talk to a surveyor.

Around 29,747 people live in Palo Pinto County (Census estimate, 2023) on roughly 953 square miles. Palo Pinto County was formed in 1857, which matters when you trace an old farm's title.

When a parcel crosses a boundary
