The Ochiltree County hunting map: start here
Closer to Waka, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department publishes the public-land maps, with rules that vary by area.
Opening the official parcel viewer
If you're looking near Waka, the public parcel map for this area is the appraisal district interactive map, and anyone can open it without signing up. With a lot near Farnsworth, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For acreage around Perryton, save the parcel ID before closing the panel; each office in the county asks for it first.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
Out toward Perryton, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the County Clerk. Older tracts near Farnsworth may trace back through many deeds, and a title company is worth hiring if money is changing hands.
Legal descriptions in Texas
Tracts outside towns near Perryton are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Town lots near Farnsworth usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Perryton before you request a deed or survey.
Who handles what
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Waka looks off go to the appraisal district, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Perryton are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
Places you'll see on the map
Perryton holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Booker, Farnsworth, and Waka. Around 9,704 people live in Ochiltree County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on roughly 918 square miles. Ochiltree County dates to 1889, which matters when you trace an old farm's title.
What the map can't tell you
For a home near Booker, listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on the ground. Out toward Waka, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Farnsworth, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Waka keeps working without signal.
Private land and parcel lines
Private boundaries come from the appraisal district interactive map, and each tract near Booker lists an owner.
Getting a yes
With a lot near Farnsworth, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and respect a no.
Scouting from the aerial
On the aerial around Waka, travel corridors and edges stand out; match each spot to its parcel.
