Driving US 22 past Lockbourne and wondering who owns the land on either side? The Pickaway County GIS map answers that in a couple of clicks.
We'll start with the official link, then cover Commercial Point and the other towns, land types, property lines and records.
Who uses the Pickaway County parcel map
Here's who tends to use it in Pickaway County. For a house near Derby, the parcel record confirms acreage and shows whether the driveway appears to cross another tract. A small builder looking for spec lots around Commercial Point can scan the map for vacant parcels in already-platted subdivisions. Hunters in Pickaway County use the owner names to line up permission well before the season. Anyone hunting for a buildable lot near Lockbourne can spot unbuilt parcels on the aerial layer and look up who owns them.
Opening the Pickaway County GIS map
Open the statewide Ohio Statewide Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer and zoom toward Commercial Point; Pickaway County's parcels are part of that layer. Try the search box with a Commercial Point street address first; for open land near Derby, it's faster to pan and click. Bookmark the Platbookmapper page for Pickaway County too; we update it when the official map moves.
Getting oriented in Pickaway County
Circleville is the county seat, and other towns on the map include Ashville, Commercial Point, Darbyville, and Lockbourne. For scale: roughly 501 square miles of land and an estimated 61,086 residents as of 2023, per the Census Bureau. Between Lockbourne and Commercial Point the map alternates between platted subdivisions and open farm or wooded tracts. Watch how parcels line up along the Scioto River; waterfront tracts often have odd shapes because the deed follows the water. On the parcel layer, Stage's Pond State Nature Preserve shows up as public ground, and the private tracts along its edges are worth checking line by line.
Property lines in Pickaway County, Ohio
Parcel boundaries on the Pickaway County viewer are drawn to keep tax accounts straight, so small offsets from the true line are expected. Ohio uses a mix of survey systems depending on the region, so read the legal description for any Pickaway County tract carefully. If a neighbor's fence near Darbyville and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
The Pickaway County economy in brief
Of the 839 establishments the Census Bureau counted in Pickaway County for 2022, the biggest groups were retail trade, construction, and health care and social assistance. Measured against national shares, warehousing and storage, heavy and civil engineering construction, and wood product manufacturing are overrepresented in Pickaway County. That points to working timberland, so check whether a wooded parcel in Pickaway County has been cut recently or is enrolled in a forestry program. It's useful background when you're judging whether a tract near New Holland will hold its value.
Where Pickaway County deeds and plats are kept
The county auditor handles assessments, while recorded deeds and plats for Pickaway County are kept by the county's land records office. Ohio county auditors handle real property appraisal, which means the Pickaway County auditor's office is the source for values on the map. If the Pickaway County parcel record shows an instrument number, that number is the shortcut to the recorded deed.
Before you rely on the data
If a tract near New Holland changed hands recently, the recorded deed is more current than the map. For a rural tract near Derby, get acreage from a survey, not the tax record, if it matters for a deal.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
