Tent Pad on a Sloped Lot
Slope sends water through a bad tent site.

Why this comes up
Slope sends water through a bad tent site. Look for the flatter bench inside the lot, not the neighbor's shelf across the line.
What to check on the map first
County GIS lines are assessment maps. They are not a survey, and a product will not redraw them.
Open Platbookmapper and choose the state. The directory sends you to the county viewer. Match the parcel ID before you trust a pin on an aerial photo.
A tool that matches the job
Shop the Tent when that is the job in front of you. Look for the flatter bench inside the lot, not the neighbor's shelf across the line.
The limit
Camp inside the parcel, away from a line you have not found. Owning the lot does not override a local burn ban.
Match the parcel ID on the tax bill before you shop for the field kit.
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.
