Old copies of the Randall County plat book turn up at auctions and in kitchen drawers around Palisades, and new ones are harder to track down. This guide covers finding a printed edition for Randall County, Texas, and using the free parcel map in the meantime.
How to use the Randall County plat book
Think of the Randall County plat book as a bound, printed version of ownership: township pages, owner names on each tract, and road maps for places like Amarillo. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Amarillo; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Search Randall County parcels by owner, address or ID
Randall County publishes its parcels on the Randall CAD map, which runs on the ProdigyCAD maps portal, free to use for a lot in Amarillo or a tract close to Canyon. Search the county appraisal map by owner, address or property ID; the pop-up for a tract close to Amarillo displays the account and legal description. Bookmark our Randall County page too; it tracks the official Texas link if it moves and lists the maps around Amarillo.
Current and older editions
Whether a current Randall County edition exists varies, so ask locally in Palisades before ordering; county offices often know if one is in print. Older editions are useful for family history around Amarillo, showing who held a farm decades ago.
Reading a Randall County atlas page
Plat book pages for Randall County usually include an index of owners, so you can locate a family name near Lake Tanglewood without knowing the township. Owner names in an older Randall County edition may be decades out of date, so confirm on the county map before contacting anyone near Ogg. Genealogists in Texas often pair an old Randall County atlas with deed records to follow a farm through the generations.
