Read on for the official viewer, a short orientation from Ivanhoe out to Hillister, and the land-record steps that back up what you see on screen.
Opening the Tyler County GIS map
Tyler County's public parcel map is the Texas county CAD map, hosted on the ProdigyCAD maps portal. Search a Colmesneil address or an owner, and the map zooms to the account with its property ID and legal description. Our Tyler County, TX page keeps the current link if the official address changes.
What the map covers, from Woodville to the back roads
Besides Woodville, which serves as the county seat, the map covers Colmesneil, Ivanhoe, and Chester. The Census Bureau puts Tyler County at about 924 square miles of land and an estimated 20,382 people (2023). Zoom out from Colmesneil and the lots turn into fields and timber quickly; a few acreage homesites break up the larger tracts. Look for Big Thicket National Preserve on the map; the private tracts touching it are some of the most asked-about parcels in Tyler County.
Who uses the Tyler County parcel map
Here's who tends to use it in Tyler County. A hunter driving the back roads near Hillister can match a promising woodlot to an owner name in seconds. People hunting for a few acres outside Ivanhoe use the parcel layer to sort tracts by size and spot ones with good road access. Rural owners near Hillister use the map to see how many acres the county has on record for them and who owns the land next door.
Acreage and vacant lot search
Five steps for vacant land in Tyler County:
- Start on the outskirts of Ivanhoe, where empty lots are easy to spot between the houses on the aerial layer.
- Click each empty tract near Hillister and note the owner, acreage and mailing address.
- Confirm legal access. In Tyler County, as anywhere, a parcel with no road frontage depends on an easement.
- Size up price by comparing a few similar tracts around Chester on the assessment records.
- Rural lots near Hillister may need a septic permit and a well, so ask before you commit.

Private and public hunting ground in Tyler County

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department handles licenses, seasons and public-land maps for Tyler County. Landowners in Tyler County hear from a lot of hunters; a specific request that names the parcel stands out.
Are the Tyler County property lines accurate?
Lines on the map show roughly where one parcel near Chester ends and the next begins; the exact spot is a surveyor's call. Around Chester, a rural legal description will cite an original survey and abstract; match it to the lines on the map. If a neighbor's fence near Chester and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
