Want a copy of the Piute County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, and it's handy for land around Otter Creek Reservoir. Covered here for the county: what's in a plat book, where to find editions, and how the county viewer fills the gaps for land near Thompsonville.
Getting started with the Piute County plat book
In and around Otter Creek Reservoir, a plat book is a privately published atlas, with owner names on each tract, page by page across the county.
The free map to start with
Go first to the Piute County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each assessed parcel from Junction to Sevier River. If you're looking near Marysvale, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. If the land is near Thompsonville, copy the parcel ID from that panel; every office in the county uses it to find the file.
Editions and availability
Editions come and go depending on publishers, try the county extension office, recorder's office or library near Greenwich.

Atlas or legal document
If the land is near Marysvale, a plat book is not a recorded plat: the recorded plat at the County Recorder is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Junction are handled by the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Thompsonville go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Before you lean on the lines
For property near Angle, the acreage figure is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on the ground. In and around Kingston, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Why people still buy them
Farmers, hunters and appraisers near Otter Creek Reservoir use plat books for a big-picture view of who owns what.
Neighboring parcel maps
