Checking easements on a house in Plainview? What you want is the Plainview plat map, since it shows lots, streets and easements as approved. What this Plainview guide covers: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Getting started with the Plainview plat map
For a subdivision near Hale Center, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; that makes the request quick.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the Hale CAD interactive map; it maps each tax parcel around Petersburg and Edmonson. On ground around Hale Center, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For property near Abernathy, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Getting your bearings
Plainview holds the county offices, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Hale Center, Edmonson, Abernathy, and Petersburg, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 31,761 people call Hale County home (Census estimate, 2023) across roughly 1,005 square miles. Hale County was organized in 1888, which matters when you trace an old farm's title.
Limits of the parcel data
Listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners on land around Petersburg. In and around Hale Center, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
The paper trail behind a parcel
Before you sign anything, get the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the parcel map near Petersburg only summarizes it. Inherited tracts near Petersburg can sit on several deeds, and a title company is worth hiring if money is changing hands.
City limits and county records
Plainview lies within Hale County, Texas, which means parcel data comes from the county. As the county seat, Plainview hosts the courthouse, handy when you need recorded documents. For acreage around Edmonson, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits near Petersburg often falls under county rules instead.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Hale Center, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Petersburg go to the appraisal district, the office behind the parcel record. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Edmonson need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Edmonson, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Edmonson and its lines keeps working without signal.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
The tax map on the Hale CAD interactive map is a summary, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Reading the legal description
Rural deeds near Abernathy commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Platted lots around Edmonson refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Petersburg for any title or survey request.
When there's no plat
Rural land near Hale Center that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.

Hale County touches Castro County, Crosby County, Floyd County, Hockley County, and Lamb County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Hale Center that runs to the line can show up across two assessors' files, so check the adjacent map before you assume the acreage.
