The official viewer behind the Vernal GIS map
For acreage around Ballard, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Pulling up a parcel
Parcels around Naples are published on the Uintah County ArcGIS parcel map, a viewer that needs no account. In and around Naples, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a tract near Naples, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county will want it.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Naples, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Ballard and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
City limits and county records
Vernal lies within Uintah County, Utah, which means parcel data comes from the county. Vernal is also the county seat, handy when you need recorded documents. Local government in Vernal handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the town limits toward Naples usually follows county rules rather than the town's.
