Next: viewing lines on the Morgan County map, why GIS lines drift from surveyed ones, and the documents that actually fix a boundary near Alaska.
Finding Morgan County property lines step by step
Open the Morgan County Beacon site, search an address in Monrovia or click a tract, and the parcel outline appears over current imagery. Measuring a lot in Monrovia on screen is fine for a first look, not for setting posts.
Finding the tract on the Morgan County map
For land around Bethany, open the Morgan County Beacon site (Schneider Geospatial's Beacon platform); it's the map Morgan 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 Paragon. For a backup route to the map covering Bethany, our Morgan County directory entry keeps the link current.
Deeds and plats behind the Morgan County map
For land near Martinsville, the deed itself lives in the county recording office, and the map is an index to it. Easements and access rights near Morgantown live in recorded documents, so read the deed, not just the county map.
GIS lines vs. surveyed lines in Morgan County
Parcel outlines near Monrovia are drawn to fit tax maps and aerial photos, so they can sit several feet, sometimes much more, from the true line. Before you build close to a line near Alaska, rely on recorded documents and a fresh survey rather than the county layer.
The lay of the land around Martinsville
From Martinsville, the seat of the county, the map spreads out to Bethany, Brooklyn, Monrovia, and Mooresville.

Roughly 404 square miles of land and about 73,227 residents (2023 estimate) make up Morgan County. Platted neighborhoods near Mooresville give way to rural acreage elsewhere in the county.
Tracts that cross the Morgan County line

Legal descriptions in Indiana
Indiana uses the Public Land Survey System: land near Alaska is located by section, township and range, frequently down to a quarter-quarter. For a platted lot in Martinsville, the description is most frequently a lot and block on a recorded plat, so request it from the county's recording office.
Fieldwork near Bethany
On rural land near Alaska, old fences and tree lines frequently follow a past boundary, but do not assume they match the deed. Mark found pins near Alaska with flagging so a surveyor can check them later.
Building near a line in Brooklyn
Building close to a line near Brooklyn? Setback rules come from the town or county zoning code, so a shed or garage on a Morgan County lot may need to sit a set distance back. Trees and hedges along a line near Brooklyn cause plenty of disputes; a fresh survey settles which side of the line a county trunk sits on.
Finding corner pins and surveys
Iron rods at the corners near Martinsville are frequently slightly below grade, and a recorded survey of land near Alaska displays where to look. When the stakes are real near Martinsville, a surveyor licensed in Indiana can mark the lines, and that answer holds up in court.
