Townships organize a lot of rural life near Agate, from road upkeep to how land is described, and a Sioux County township map shows their lines. This guide covers the free Sioux County, NE options and how to read them.
How to use the Sioux County township map
The named townships on a county map are civil townships, and a parcel near Agate belongs to exactly one of them. Rural land in Sioux County comes from the Public Land Survey System, in which each township is about 36 square miles; each holds 36 sections, so a farm near Glen may span two.
Finding the tract on the Sioux County map
The county's own public map is the Sioux County gWorks map, built on a gWorks county GIS site, and it opens without an account for parcels in Agate and the rest of the county. The Sioux County site shows a disclaimer before the map; click through to reach parcels near Agate. Use the search box for an address in Agate or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a property near Harrison. If the official address for the Sioux County, NE map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for Agate and the rest of the county.
Seeing township lines on the Sioux County map
The Sioux County gWorks map is the quickest Sioux County township map for most people: switch on boundaries and click a parcel near Glen. Some Sioux County viewers include a PLSS layer that labels sections, which helps when a deed near Harrison cites T and R numbers.
How the survey grid is numbered
Near Agate, section 1 sits in the northeast corner of a survey township, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Aliquot descriptions for land near Glen make sense in reverse: the final quarter listed is the largest piece. Water, old surveys and corrections can leave odd-sized lots along section edges in Sioux County.
Township records near Harrison
Older deeds near Harrison may name a township differently than today's Sioux County records, so compare the legal description too. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Sioux County don't always follow township lines near Andrews, so check each one separately.

From Harrison to the back roads
Harrison is the seat of Sioux County and the hub for its land records. Unincorporated communities in the county, including Agate, Andrews, and Glen, display up as small groups of parcels along the roads. Roughly 2,067 square miles of land and about 1,154 residents (2023 estimate) make up Sioux County. Outside Andrews, most of the county map is farm, ranch or timber ground with large, irregular tracts.
Tracts that cross the Sioux County line
Sioux County borders Box Butte County, Dawes County, Scotts Bluff County, Fall River County, SD, and Goshen County, WY, and each keeps its own parcel map and records. Our Nebraska page links each map neighboring Sioux County.
Deeds and plats behind the Sioux County map
For land near Harrison, the deed itself lives in the county recording office, and the map is an index to it. Copy the parcel ID and legal description from the county record well before you request a deed for land near Andrews.
Why the township matters
In Sioux County, township boundaries decide which local office you deal with, and the Sioux County record is the better guide than an address. The township on the county record also decides which local office keeps meeting notices and ordinances for land near Glen.
