When a listing near Vinton mentions a lot number, the San Elizario plat map is where those numbers come from. In this San Elizario guide: where to request a copy, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Who keeps the San Elizario plat map
For land around Vinton, the deed usually cites the plat; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Pulling up a parcel
Property in and around Socorro can be looked up on the El Paso CAD interactive map, a viewer that needs no account. When a rural tract has no street number, zoom in from Socorro and click the parcel itself. For a parcel near Socorro, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
City limits and county records
San Elizario lies within El Paso County, Texas, which means parcel data comes from the county. For acreage around Clint, City or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits toward Anthony usually falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
Getting answers from the right desk
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Anthony looks off are handled by the appraisal district, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Clint go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
A word on accuracy
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so a fence near Horizon City can sit some distance off the line on screen. Records update in batches, so a fresh transfer around Clint can take weeks to appear.
How a plat differs from the tax map
The El Paso CAD interactive map draws parcels for taxes, but the recorded plat is what the deed relies on.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Clint, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Clint helps when you meet an owner or agent.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Horizon City, so check for later filings; street vacations near Socorro show up in the records too.
El Paso County in a few facts
El Paso serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Clint, Socorro, Horizon City, and Anthony. About 869,880 people call El Paso County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over some 1,013 square miles. El Paso County dates to 1871, and some chains of title near Clint are long.
When there's no plat
Rural land near Horizon City that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Sections, lots and bearings
Tracts outside towns near Clint are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Platted lots around Horizon City usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Anthony before you request a deed or survey.
What a plat shows
If you're looking near Anthony, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Ordering the San Elizario plat map
For land near Clint, many recorder offices offer an online index, otherwise call or visit with the reference; small fees are common.
Neighboring parcel maps
El Paso County meets Doña Ana County, NM, Otero County, NM, and Hudspeth County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Anthony may be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map too. For a home near Socorro, our state page lists each bordering county map for Texas.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Socorro are filed with the County Clerk. Older tracts near Vinton may sit on a long string of deeds, so a title company earns its fee before a purchase.

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.
