Smaller places such as Balmville, Beaver Dam Lake, and Firthcliffe appear on the Orange County map as little clusters of lots.

What the owner field really tells you
Names on parcels near Goshen can be puzzling: 'Estate of', 'et al' and 'c/o' entries near Cornwall each mean something different. Look at where the tax bill goes for land near Goshen: out-of-state mail for a piece of ground near Cornwall usually means an absentee owner, worth noting before you write. Records for land near Goshen reflect the assessor's last update, which means a deed filed this season may be missing.
Tracts that cross the Orange County line

Deeds and plats behind the Orange County map

Confirming ownership with the deed
The parcel map is a tax record, so proof of ownership in Orange County is the recorded deed. If the Orange County record lists no document number, search the grantor-grantee index by the owner's name.
