The printed Sanpete County plat book and the online parcel map answer the same question, who owns the land near Fountain Green, in different ways. Below is how to track one down for Sanpete County, UT, and what the online map does better.
Plat books vs. recorded plats in Sanpete County
Think of the Sanpete County plat book as a bound, printed version of ownership: township pages, owner names on each tract, and road maps for places like Manti. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Manti; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
The county map you'll pair it with
For Sanpete County, the free public parcel layer is state-run: open the Utah State Parcels viewer and pan to Gunnison.

Where Sanpete County plat books turn up
Try the library in Centerfield or a local historical society for older Sanpete County editions; libraries sometimes keep past atlases for reference. An old atlas can help trace when a tract around Manti split off from a larger farm.
Sanpete County land records
For land near Fountain Green, the deed itself lives in the county recording office, and the map is an index to it. A deed book and page or instrument number on the county record is the quickest route to request the document for a lot in Fountain Green.
Current owners without a printed book
For current ownership, the free Utah State Parcels viewer beats any printed book: owners update as deeds are processed, and you can click any tract around Centerfield. Phone signal can be thin near Chester, so save the parcel IDs you need before you head out.
What a plat book page shows near Centerfield
A typical atlas page for a township near Centerfield shows sections, roads and streams, with each ownership block labeled. Small parcels and town lots in Centerfield are commonly too small to label on an atlas page, which is another reason the online map is better for them. Genealogists in Utah commonly pair an old Sanpete County atlas with deed records to follow a farm through the generations.
Editions, deeds and printouts
Farm families near Manti commonly keep successive editions of the Sanpete County plat book, which together show how ownership shifted over decades. If you can't find a printed edition, a screenshot of each township from the county map works as a decent homemade atlas for the area around Manti.
