How to use the Pike County plat map

What the map covers, from Waverly to the back roads
Most of the platted lots cluster in and around Waverly (the county seat) and Beaver and Piketon. Smaller places such as Cynthiana, Stockdale, and Arkoe show up as clusters of lots along the roads. Pike County was created in 1815 and takes its name from Zebulon Pike. For scale: roughly 440 square miles of land and an estimated 27,001 residents as of 2023, per the Census Bureau. The Pike County map is a blend: tidy subdivision plats around Waverly, then bigger rural parcels on the way to Beaver.
Who needs this map
- For hobby-farm buyers near Piketon, the parcel map shows how a tract sits against its neighbors and the road.
- Raw-land buyers scan Pike County imagery for empty tracts and check the owner records behind them.
- A small builder looking for spec lots around Beaver can scan the map for vacant parcels in already-platted subdivisions.

Acreage and vacant lot search
A vacant-land search near Waverly, step by step:
- Pan the Pike County map with imagery turned on and flag any tract that looks empty.
- For each tract near Waverly, note the parcel ID, the owner and where the tax bill is mailed.
- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Beaver to sanity-check an asking price.
- Confirm legal access. In Pike County, as anywhere, a parcel with no road frontage depends on an easement.
- Ask the local offices serving Piketon about building permits and septic rules before you buy.
Are the Pike County property lines accurate?
On rural tracts near Arkoe, the parcel lines can drift from the fences on the ground, sometimes by more than a few feet. Depending on where in Ohio a tract sits, the deed may use a grid or metes and bounds; around Waverly, check the legal description to see which. For rural ground near Arkoe, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
Where Pike County deeds and plats are kept
The county auditor handles assessments, while recorded deeds and plats for Pike County are kept by the county's land records office. In Ohio the county auditor, not an assessor, appraises real estate, so Pike County values come from the auditor's office on a six-year reappraisal cycle with an update in year three. Rural tracts near Arkoe may go back through several deeds; the instrument number on the record is the first link in that chain.
The Pike County economy in brief
Of the 400 establishments the Census Bureau counted in Pike County for 2022, the biggest groups were retail trade, health care and social assistance, and other services. The local economy leans harder than average on wood product manufacturing, forestry and logging, and utilities. Timber tracts in Pike County change hands for wood value as much as for building, so check the parcel record and the aerial photo together. If you're comparing land near Beaver with land near Piketon, the local job base is part of the price story.
