The free map to start with

When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, which applies near Warwick as much as anywhere.

Land on the county line
Orange County meets Passaic County, NJ, Sussex County, NJ, Dutchess County, Putnam County, and Rockland County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Goshen that runs to the line can show up across two assessors' files, so look at the neighboring map as well.
