Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Walsh County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes every tax parcel in the county, Nash included.

If the land is near Red River of the North, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Getting your bearings
Grafton is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Adams, Ardoch, Conway, and Edinburg. Around 10,305 people live in Walsh County (Census estimate, 2023) on some 1,282 square miles. Walsh County was formed in 1881, so old deeds can run back a long way. Places such as Red River of the North, Hudson Bay, and Ardoch National Wildlife Refuge make handy reference points on the map.
Looking around the parcel
Look at adjoining lots near Red River of the North to see who owns the neighboring land; it helps with access and boundary questions.
Recorded documents worth pulling
If you're looking near Red River of the North, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the County Recorder. Older tracts near Red River of the North may sit on a long string of deeds, and a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
Which office to call
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Red River of the North looks off go to the Director of Tax Equalization, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Red River of the North need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Tax data in the record

When a parcel crosses a boundary
Walsh County touches Marshall County, MN, Cavalier County, Grand Forks County, Nelson County, and Pembina County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Nash may show up across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map as well. Near Red River of the North, the Platbookmapper state page links each neighboring county map for North Dakota.
Limits of the parcel data
On ground around Red River of the North, acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on the ground. Records update in batches, so a fresh transfer around Red River of the North may not show yet.
Reading the owner field
For an LLC on a parcel near Red River of the North, look it up in the state's business registry. "Estate of" on a record near Red River of the North usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, and the executor handles questions.
Confirming with the deed
Use the book and page or instrument number from the record near Auburn so the lookup is fast; hire a title company before money changes hands.
Sections, lots and bearings
North Dakota follows the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Red River of the North cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Adams can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Fairdale before you request a deed or survey.
Reaching an owner
Include the parcel ID, why you're asking and how to reach you; owners of rural land near Auburn may live far away.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Red River of the North, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Nash keeps working without signal.
