We'll start with the official link, then cover Hurley and the other towns, land types, property lines and records.
Where to open the official Stone County plat map
Go straight to the IntegrityGIS - Stone County. The county hosts it on an Integrity GIS parcel viewer, and there's no sign-in. Rural tracts in Stone County often have no street address, so try an owner search or simply pan to the area and click. If the map ever goes missing, check the Stone County, Missouri listing on Platbookmapper for the new address.
Behind the map: land records in Stone County
For land near Reeds Spring, the parcel record is the index; the recorded deed is the source. The office title varies by state (register of deeds, recorder, county clerk or clerk of court), so check the Stone County government website for the right one. If you need a plat for a lot in Hurley, look for the plat book and page or the subdivision name in the parcel record, then request that document from the recording office.
Stone County at a glance: towns and land
Galena is the county seat, and other towns on the map include Branson, Branson West, Crane, and Hurley. Founded in 1851 and named for William Stone, English pioneer and an early settler in Maryland, the county has land records that reach back a long way, which helps when you trace a title. Roughly 32,658 people (Census Bureau, 2023) share Stone County's 464 square miles of land. You'll see dense subdivision lots around Galena and a looser rural pattern in between. Public land in or near the county, including Mark Twain National Forest, changes how nearby private land sells.
Who uses the Stone County parcel map
House hunters looking at Crane use the parcel record as a free check on the listing: lot size, legal description and last recorded sale. A small builder looking for spec lots around Hurley can scan the map for vacant parcels in already-platted subdivisions. Folks shopping for raw land click through empty parcels near Galena, note the owners, and send letters.
Using the Stone County plat map to find vacant land
Five steps for vacant land in Stone County:
- Pan the Stone County map with imagery turned on and flag any tract that looks empty.
- Build a short list of open parcels around Crane with owner names and acreage before you make any calls.
- Confirm legal access. In Stone County, as anywhere, a parcel with no road frontage depends on an easement.
- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Branson to sanity-check an asking price.
- Before you sign for land near Branson, check what the local planning and health offices will allow on it.

Property lines in Stone County, Missouri
A Stone County plat map is built for assessment, not construction. In Stone County, as in most places, the lines are a best fit of old deed calls onto modern aerial photos. Rural Stone County land sits on the federal survey grid: a deed might call out a quarter of a numbered section in a given township and range. For a fence, an addition or a dispute in Stone County, budget for a licensed survey; it's the answer a court or a lender will accept.
Two things the map won't tell you
If a tract near Branson changed hands recently, the recorded deed is more current than the map. For a rural tract near Shell Knob, get acreage from a survey, not the tax record, if it matters for a deal.

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.
