Researching Pershing County land for sale
Not every tract near Dun Glen/Chafey is listed, and a polite letter can open a conversation.
Getting to the right map
Lots and tracts near Grass Valley are published on the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer, a viewer that needs no account. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along US Route 95 and click the parcel itself, which applies near Dun Glen/Chafey as much as anywhere. For a tract near Grass Valley, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Is the tract reachable?
Make sure there's legal access, not just a path, because landlocked ground near Dun Glen/Chafey is hard to use and finance.
Places you'll see on the map
Lovelock is the county seat, where most land records are kept. Other places on the map include Grass Valley, Humboldt River Ranch, Imlay, and Unionville, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 6,364 people call Pershing County home (Census estimate, 2023) on about 6,037 square miles. Pershing County dates to 1919, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Backing up the map with records
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the viewer just points to it, and that holds around Dun Glen/Chafey too. Older tracts near Grass Valley may sit on several deeds, and a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
A word on accuracy
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near Dun Glen/Chafey may sit a few yards off the line on screen. Owner names and values update on a schedule, so a fresh transfer around Dun Glen/Chafey can take weeks to appear.
Reading the legal description

A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Dun Glen/Chafey odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Dun Glen/Chafey before you request a deed or survey.
