The Teton County plat book: start here
Near Rocky Mountain Front Conservation Area, plat books are commercial atlases, that map ownership across the countryside, page by page across the county.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Montana Cadastral; it includes each tax parcel around Lewis and Clark National Forest and New Rockport Colony. Closer to Choteau, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For land near Pendroy, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every records desk in the county will want it.
Why people still buy them
Buyers and seed dealers around Power rely on them to see ownership across many tracts at once.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Choteau, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Power with its ID is a good backup.

On ground around New Rockport Colony, our state page lists each bordering county map for Montana.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
For anything that matters, pull the recorded deed through the County Clerk and Recorder; the parcel line is a drawing of it, and that holds around Rocky Mountain Front Conservation Area too. Long-held tracts near New Rockport Colony may sit on several deeds, and a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
Making your own township pages
Screenshot each section of the viewer around Dutton and keep them in a binder for the truck.
Finding a printed edition
Editions come and go depending on publishers, check with local offices and farm stores near Miller Colony.
Who handles what
For assessment questions about property around Rocky Mountain Front Conservation Area go to the Montana Department of Revenue, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Choteau are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Limits of the parcel data
If the land is near Fairfield, acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real lines on the ground. Out toward Pendroy, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Current ownership online
The Montana Cadastral is updated more often than any atlas, for tracts near Bynum.
Two kinds of plat
Out toward Dutton, a plat book is not a recorded plat: the recorded plat at the County Clerk and Recorder is a legal document, and the atlas is just a guide.
Sections, lots and bearings
Montana uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Fairfield reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Pendroy odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Pendroy for any title or survey request.
A quick look at the area

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.
