A Rich County plat book is the township-by-township atlas farmers, hunters and land buyers around Woodruff have kept in the truck for generations. Here's what a plat book is, where to look for one in Rich County, and the free official map that stays current between editions.
How to use the Rich County plat book
A plat book, sometimes called a land atlas, shows each township in Rich County as a page, with ownership blocks labeled by owner name and rough acreage. Deeds and recorded plats, not the atlas, still govern land near Garden in the county.
Opening the Rich County parcel viewer
There's no separate Rich County parcel site to hunt for; the Utah State Parcels viewer carries the county's parcels along with the rest of Utah. Most people track down their Rich County tract fastest by searching an address in Randolph, then clicking the outline. Our Rich County, UT page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Randolph in one place.
Current and older editions
Whether a current Rich County edition exists varies, so ask locally in Randolph before ordering; county offices commonly know if one is in print. Older editions are useful for family history around Woodruff, showing who held a farm decades ago.
Reading a Rich County atlas page
Plat book pages for Rich County usually include an index of owners, so you can track down a family name near Woodruff without knowing the township. Acreage printed in a county atlas is rough; the deed and a survey decide the real figure for a property near Woodruff. If you use a plat book for hunting permission near Garden City, recheck the titleholder on the county map first.
Editions, deeds and printouts
Farm families near Randolph commonly keep successive editions of the Rich County plat book, which together show how ownership shifted over decades. If you cannot track down a printed edition, a screenshot of each township from the county map works as a decent homemade atlas for the area around Randolph.
What drives land use around Randolph
In 2022 the Census Bureau tallied 126 establishments in Rich County; accommodation and food services topped the list. Accommodation (hotels, motels, RV parks and camps) and amusement, gambling and recreation make up an above-average share of Rich County businesses, a clue to how land around Garden City gets used.
Getting oriented in Rich County, UT
Randolph is the county seat, and Garden City, Laketown, and Woodruff are among the other towns on the county map. Unincorporated communities in the county, including Garden, show up as small groups of parcels along the roads. Census Bureau estimates put Rich County at about 2,670 residents in 2023 on about 1,029 square miles of land. Beyond the town lots in Laketown, expect big rural parcels across the county. Landforms such as the Logan Canyon shape where roads and homesites fall in Rich County. Rich County was organized in 1864, so deeds for older farms near Woodruff can run back a long way.
Near the Rich County line
A farm near the county line can carry separate records in Bear Lake County, ID, Franklin County, ID, and Cache County as well. Our Utah page links each map neighboring Rich County.
The free online alternative
For current ownership, the free Utah State Parcels viewer beats any printed book: owners update as deeds are processed, and you can click any property near Randolph. Pair the county map with a road atlas for the back roads near Woodruff.
