When a deed near Kohler says lot and block, look up the Sheboygan Falls plat map it refers to. Covered here for Sheboygan Falls: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Getting started with the Sheboygan Falls plat map
For a lot in Sheboygan Falls, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Sheboygan County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every tax parcel in the county, Kohler included. Out toward Kohler, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For property near Adell, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Kohler sit with the Register of Deeds. Long-held tracts near Oostburg may sit on many deeds, so a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
Sheboygan Falls, WI: the basics
Sheboygan Falls is part of Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, and the county assessor maps its lots. For acreage around Howards Grove, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the city limits near Adell usually follows county rules instead.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Sheboygan, so check for later filings; street vacations near Oostburg show up in the records too.
What the map can't tell you

Recorded plat or GIS layer
The Sheboygan County ArcGIS parcel map draws parcels for taxes, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Using it on a phone
