Before you rely on what you find
Online parcel lines are drawn for tax mapping, not surveys, so they can sit a few feet off the real boundary. For anything legal, such as a fence, a sale or a dispute, use the recorded deed and a licensed surveyor. To check flood zones, soils or wetlands for a spot you found, open it on the Platbookmapper Land Map, which pulls FEMA, USDA and U.S. Fish & Wildlife layers.
