What the map covers, from Paulding to the back roads
Antwerp, Broughton, Cecil, and Grover Hill fill out the town list, and Paulding is where the county seat sits. Crossroads communities such as Junction, Mandale, and Roselms have their own small clusters of lots. About 18,706 people lived in Paulding County in 2023, according to Census Bureau estimates, on roughly 416 square miles. That is a rural density, so once you leave Antwerp expect a patchwork of farm tracts, woodlots and small acreage splits. Water features such as the Great Black Swamp, Auglaize River, and Maumee River shape where lots fall and where floodplain sits.

The official map is the Paulding County parcel viewer. Use the search box to find a Paulding County parcel by owner name, address or parcel number, or zoom in and click a lot to open its record. If the official link ever moves, the Paulding County page on Platbookmapper keeps the current version.
Property lines in Paulding County, Ohio

Using the Paulding County GIS map to find vacant land
How to work the Paulding County GIS map for open land:
- Pan the Paulding County map with imagery turned on and flag any tract that looks empty.

- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Grover Hill to sanity-check an asking price.
- Make sure the parcel near Broughton actually touches a public road, and ask how it's reached if it doesn't.
- Rural lots near Junction may need a septic permit and a well, so ask before you commit.
Where Paulding County deeds and plats are kept
