How to use the Stutsman County land owner map
Go to the Stutsman County ArcGIS parcel map and type a Cleveland address, or simply click the ground you're curious about near Spiritwood. Owner lookups for land near Kensal tend to work best with the surname alone, so try 'Smith' before 'Smith John A' near Cleveland.

What the titleholder field really tells you
Entries in the county owner column often name an entity: 'Estate of', 'et al' and 'c/o' entries near Kensal each mean something different. Compare the mailing address with the location: a bank or law office address near Spiritwood hints at a trust or an estate, common with inherited land around Cleveland. Records for land near Cleveland lag behind the courthouse, so a recent sale near Kensal may not appear yet.
Where Stutsman County land records are kept
For land near Montpelier, 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 fastest way to request the document for a lot in Montpelier.
