For any lot around Nehawka, a look at the Plattsmouth GIS map gives you the outline, the owner of record and a parcel ID. This Plattsmouth guide covers: which viewer to open, how to search it, and the limits worth knowing.
Getting started with the Plattsmouth GIS map
Parcel maps here are usually run by the county, not the town, and for Plattsmouth that means the Cass County ArcGIS parcel map.
Getting to the right map
Your first stop is the Cass County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers each assessed parcel around Cedar Creek and Louisville. In and around Louisville, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a home near Murray, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
When the details count, pull the recorded deed through the Register of Deeds; the parcel map near Murray only summarizes it. Out toward Louisville, have ready the instrument number listed on the parcel record to skip a name search.
Reading the legal description
Nebraska is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Louisville reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Manley can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Nehawka for any title or survey request.
Keeping a record
Save a screenshot of the lot near Nehawka and its record panel, so you have it when calling an office.
Where Plattsmouth fits in
Plattsmouth is part of Cass County, Nebraska, which means parcel data comes from the county. Plattsmouth is also the county seat, which puts the Register of Deeds close by. For a tract near Cedar Creek, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the city limits toward Cedar Creek usually falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Before you lean on the lines
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not surveyed, so a fence near Louisville may sit a few yards off the line on screen. Around Nehawka, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
When the map won't load
When the map won't open around Manley, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.

Cass County touches Fremont County, IA, Mills County, IA, Lancaster County, Otoe County, and Sarpy County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Cedar Creek may show up across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. For a home near Nehawka, our state page links every neighboring county map for Nebraska.
Searching the map
Vacant ground near Union may lack an address, so zoom in from the nearest road and click the outline. In and around Union, a parcel ID is the most reliable search, and it's printed on tax bills.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Louisville belong with the County Assessor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Questions about what you can build around Cedar Creek are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
Using it on a phone

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.
