Opening the Wilsonville GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, which makes the ORMAP statewide tax lot viewer the main source for lots in Wilsonville.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Parcels around Tualatin are published on the ORMAP statewide tax lot viewer, which opens without registering. If you're looking near Barlow, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For acreage around Rivergrove, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each clerk in the county will want it.
What the map can't tell you
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not surveyed, so the edge of a yard near West Linn can sit several feet off the line on screen. If you're looking near Lake Oswego, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
