The White Pine County plat book: start here
In and around Lund, a plat book is a privately published atlas, showing rural owners and tract lines, page by page across the county.
The viewer White Pine County publishes
Begin with the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it covers every tax parcel in the county, Schell Creek Range included. When a rural tract has no street number, follow the nearest road on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, and that holds around Cave Lake State Park too. With a lot near Schell Creek Range, copy the parcel ID while you have it open; every office in the county will want it.
Editions and availability
Libraries near Ely sometimes keep past atlases, which helps when tracing a farm's history.
The free online alternative
For a parcel near McGill, the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer is updated more often than any atlas, across the county.

Print parcel views near McGill township by township to build your own up-to-date atlas.
Where the recorded documents are
Before you sign anything, get the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the parcel line is a drawing of it, for land near McGill included. For property near Baker, have ready the document number shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
Getting your bearings
Ely is the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Baker, Lund, McGill, and Preston. Around 8,522 people call White Pine County home (Census estimate, 2023) across some 8,887 square miles. White Pine County dates to 1869, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Landmarks such as Schell Creek Range and Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest help you orient on the aerial.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Schell Creek Range, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Ely with its ID keeps working without signal.
Limits of the parcel data
Closer to Schell Creek Range, acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real lines on the ground. If you're looking near Preston, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Who uses plat books
Farmers, hunters and appraisers near Schell Creek Range use plat books to see ownership across many tracts at once.
Neighboring parcel maps
White Pine County meets Elko County, Eureka County, Lincoln County, Nye County, and Juab County, UT, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Baker that runs to the line may show up across two assessors' files, so open the neighboring map as well. Closer to Ely, our state page links every neighboring county map across Nevada.
Plat book vs. recorded plat
Closer to Lund, a plat book is not a recorded plat: the recorded plat at the County Recorder is a legal document, and the atlas is just a guide.
How land is described here

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Cave Lake State Park odd-sized.

Who handles what
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Schell Creek Range looks off belong with the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Ruth are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
