Want a copy of the Pulaski County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, useful for farms near Francesville. Covered here for the county: what's in a plat book, where to find editions, and the free online map that stays current for land near Lawton.
The Pulaski County plat book: start here
If you're looking near Lawton, plat books are commercial atlases, with owner names on each tract, page by page across the county.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Pulaski County WTH GIS map; it maps every assessed parcel around Lawton and Winamac. When a rural tract has no street number, follow US Route 35 on the aerial and select the outline, and that holds around Monterey too. In and around Star City, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each office in the county will want it.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Francesville are handled by the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Medaryville are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Buying or borrowing a copy
Not every county has a current edition, try the county extension office, recorder's office or library near Medaryville.
Making your own township pages
Print parcel views near Denham township by township and keep them in a binder for the truck.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Winamac, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Beardstown and its lines keeps working without signal.
How land is described here
Indiana uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Star City is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Medaryville vary in size. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Lawton when you talk to a surveyor.
Before you lean on the lines
For land near Denham, the acreage figure is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on the ground. Owner names and values update on a schedule, so a fresh transfer around Winamac may not show yet.
Current ownership online
For current names, use the Pulaski County WTH GIS map, across the county.
Two kinds of plat
For acreage around Star City, don't confuse the atlas with a recorded subdivision plat: the recorded plat at the County Recorder is a legal document, and the atlas is just a guide.
Backing up the map with records
Before you sign anything, get the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the viewer just points to it, which applies near Star City as much as anywhere. If you're looking near Lawton, have ready the document number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Why people still buy them
Buyers and seed dealers around Monterey rely on them for a big-picture view of who owns what.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
The county touches Cass County, Fulton County, Jasper County, Marshall County, and Starke County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map, at least around Beardstown. Acreage along the edge near Winamac may be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map too. For a parcel near Star City, our state page lists every neighboring county map for Indiana.

Good question; the county WTH GIS map is free and updated more often, at least around Francesville.
What's a legal description near Beardstown?

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.
