Old copies of the Wichita County plat book turn up at auctions and in kitchen drawers around Iowa Park, and new ones are harder to track down. This guide covers finding a printed edition for Wichita County, Texas, and using the free parcel map in the meantime.
What's inside a county plat book
A plat book, sometimes called a land atlas, shows each township in Wichita County as a page, with ownership blocks labeled by owner name and approximate acreage. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Electra; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Finding the tract on the Wichita County map
For land around Cashion Community, open the Wichita CAD map (the ProdigyCAD maps portal); it is the map Wichita County itself publishes. Search the county appraisal map by owner, address or property ID; the pop-up for a tract around Wichita Falls shows the account and legal description. Bookmark our Wichita County page too; it tracks the official Texas link if it moves and lists the maps around Wichita Falls.
Wichita County land records
The parcel layer for Wichita County points back to recorded deeds and plats, kept by the county's recording office (its title varies by state). For a tract around Burkburnett, the appraised value is set by the county appraisal district, which Texas law keeps separate from county government. Copy the parcel number and legal description from the county record before you request a deed for land near Burkburnett.
Finding a printed Wichita County plat book
Try the library in Pleasant Valley or a local historical society for older Wichita County editions; libraries sometimes keep past atlases for reference. Older editions are useful for family history around Electra, showing who held a farm decades ago.
