People who grew up near Dighton remember the Okmulgee County plat book as the book that named every farm. This guide covers finding a printed edition for Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, and using the free parcel map in the meantime.
What an Okmulgee County plat book is
Think of the Okmulgee County plat book as a bound, printed version of ownership: township pages, owner names on each tract, and road maps for places like Dighton. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Dighton; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.

Current owners without a printed book
The OKMaps (Oklahoma Office of Geographic Information) - Statewide Parcels layer works as a living Okmulgee County plat book, with owner names and parcel lines over aerial photos of Okmulgee County. Print a screenshot of the tracts around Beggs if you want a paper copy in the truck.
Reading an Okmulgee County atlas page
Plat book pages for Okmulgee County typically include an index of owners, so you can track down a family name near Dighton without knowing the township. Small parcels and town lots in Dewar are frequently too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. If you use a plat book for hunting permission near Dewar, recheck the titleholder on the county map first.
