For a parcel near Elim, a quick Nome Census Area land owner map lists owner, value and acreage. Covered here for Nome Census Area: which viewer to use, what trusts, estates and LLCs mean, and the next step when you need proof.
Running a Nome Census Area land owner map step by step
Use the Alaska Statewide Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer for a Nome Census Area land owner map; try the address first, then the owner's name.
The viewer Nome Census Area publishes
Begin with the Alaska Statewide Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it includes every assessed parcel from Bering Land Bridge National Preserve to Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge. For a tract near Elim, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For acreage around Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, save the parcel ID from that panel; every office in the county uses it to find the file.
Who the record really names
Out toward Haycock, the record lists the owner of record, and that isn't always a person. "Estate of" on a record near Koyuk usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, so the personal representative is the contact.
Nome Census Area in a few facts
Other places on the map include Brevig Mission, Diomede, Elim, and Gambell. Around 9,763 people live in the county (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 22,969 square miles around Solomon. Nome Census Area was formed in 1980, so old deeds can run back a long way. Features like Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge make handy reference points on the map.
Proof of ownership
For a home near Gambell, a viewer entry isn't legal proof; for that, pull the deed from the State Recorder's Office (Alaska DNR).
Contacting an owner politely
A polite note sent to the tax-bill address is the usual way to reach an owner for land near Solomon.
Neighbors and nearby parcels
Look at adjoining lots near Bering Land Bridge National Preserve for context on nearby owners and uses; that's handy for easements and access.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge are filed with the State Recorder's Office (Alaska DNR). Out toward Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, use the document number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Before you lean on the lines
For a tract near Brevig Mission, the acreage figure is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on the ground. For a tract near Gambell, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Bering Land Bridge National Preserve are handled by the borough assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Koyuk need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Brevig Mission, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Solomon with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Values and taxes
Many records show assessed value and taxes for land near Koyuk; questions about value go to the borough assessor.
Legal descriptions in Alaska
Alaska is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Bering Land Bridge National Preserve reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near Solomon before you request a deed or survey.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
The county meets Kusilvak Census Area, Northwest Arctic Borough, and Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Koyuk can be split in two county records, so look at the adjacent map too. For a tract near Elim, our state page lists every bordering county map across Alaska.
