A Pike County GIS map is the quickest way to see who owns a tract, how big it is and where its lines run before you drive out to look. Pike County in Indiana publishes that information for free.
Below are the official links, a quick tour of Pike County's towns and land, and the steps for turning a parcel click into a reliable answer.
Where to open the official Pike County GIS map
Go straight to the Pike County WTH GIS map. The county hosts it on a WTH Technology GIS parcel site, and there's no sign-in. Once parcel lines appear, click any tract near Petersburg to see who owns it and how many acres the county records. Our Pike County listing carries the same link plus neighboring maps.
Getting oriented in Pike County
The county seat is Petersburg, home to the courthouse. The county was organized in 1816 and named for Zebulon Pike, so some tracts carry a long chain of deeds. The county's land area is about 334 square miles, and the Census Bureau estimated 12,106 residents there in 2023. At that density most of the Pike County map is farm and wooded ground, with smaller lots clustered around Petersburg and along paved roads. Waterfront and bottomland parcels near the Ohio River, White River, and Patoka River deserve a second look at the flood layer.
Who uses the Pike County parcel map
Here's who tends to use it in Pike County.
- People hunting for a few acres outside Petersburg use the parcel layer to sort tracts by size and spot ones with good road access.
- Anyone hunting for a buildable lot near Petersburg can spot unbuilt parcels on the aerial layer and look up who owns them.
- Contractors quoting work near Petersburg check frontage and lot depth on the map before they drive out.
Acreage and vacant lot search
A vacant-land search near Petersburg, step by step:
- Zoom out over the countryside around Petersburg with the aerial layer on, and look for parcels with no structures.
- For the open ground around Petersburg, copy the owner, acreage and mailing address into a simple spreadsheet.
- Trace the frontage on any tract near Petersburg; without it, access depends on a recorded easement.
- Size up price by comparing a few similar tracts around Petersburg on the assessment records.
- Rural lots near Petersburg may need a septic permit and a well, so ask before you commit.
For a tract near Petersburg with no road frontage, see how to tell if land is landlocked.
What the Pike County GIS map shows about lot lines
Parcel boundaries on the Pike County viewer are drawn to keep tax accounts straight, so small offsets from the true line are expected. Legal descriptions in Indiana usually lean on the section grid, so learning to read 'NE 1/4 of Section 12' pays off quickly around Petersburg. For walking the corners yourself, our guide to finding property corners helps; for a legal answer, call an Indiana licensed surveyor.
Where Pike County deeds and plats are kept
Every line on the Pike County map traces back to a recorded deed or plat, and the county's recording office keeps those documents. The office title varies by state (register of deeds, recorder, county clerk or clerk of court), so check the Pike County government website for the right one. If you need a plat for a lot in Petersburg, look for the plat book and page or the subdivision name in the parcel record, then request that document from the recording office.
The Pike County economy in brief
The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 201 business establishments in Pike County in 2022, and the largest groups were other services, retail trade, and health care and social assistance. The local economy leans harder than average on support activities for mining and drilling, fabricated metal product manufacturing, and truck transportation. In Pike County, minerals are often severed from the surface, so the owner on the parcel map may not own what's underneath. It's useful background when you're judging whether a tract near Petersburg will hold its value.
Near the county line
Pike County shares borders with Daviess County, Dubois County, Gibson County, Knox County, and Warrick County, and each one runs its own parcel map and recording office. All of them are listed on our Indiana page.
