Reading a Well Report Next to the Parcel Map
The map shows the parcel. The report shows the water.

Why this comes up
The map shows the parcel. The report shows the water. Keep the report with the deed file. The parcel viewer will not display your lab numbers.
What to check on the map first
County GIS lines are assessment maps. They are not a survey, and a product will not redraw them.
Open Platbookmapper and choose the state. The directory sends you to the county viewer. Match the parcel ID before you trust a pin on an aerial photo.
A tool that matches the job
Shop the Well water test when that is the job in front of you. Keep the report with the deed file. The parcel viewer will not display your lab numbers.
The limit
Test the well before you buy a system. Reverse osmosis treats a drinking tap. It does not fix every well problem, and it is not a survey tool.
Match the parcel ID on the tax bill before you shop for the field kit.
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.
