The free map to start with

Offices that can help
Anything recorded against property around Palestine come from the county Recorder of Deeds (in many counties the County Clerk and Recorder), usually searchable by name or document number. Building or septic questions for a lot near Oblong go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
What the map can't tell you
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so a tree line near Palestine can sit some distance off the line on screen. For acreage around Stoy, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
