How to use the Montgomery County hunting map
On the Montgomery County Beacon site, scan the wooded draws and creek bottoms near Grant and click each tract you like; the record lists the titleholder of record and mailing address.

For land around Grant, open the Montgomery County Beacon site (Schneider Geospatial's Beacon platform); it's the map Montgomery County itself publishes. In the county version, the search page takes an owner, an address or a parcel ID, and each report links back to the map view for the parcel near Villisca. For a backup route to the map covering Grant, our Montgomery County directory entry keeps the link current.
