Getting to the right map
For a tract near Eastford, the no-cost parcel map for this area is the CT Parcel Viewer, and no login is needed to use it.

In and around Canterbury, copy the parcel ID before closing the panel; every clerk in the county asks for it first.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Chaplin are kept by the town clerk. Out toward Ashford, use the book and page listed on the parcel record and the lookup takes minutes.
Trusts, estates and LLCs
On ground around Eastford, the record lists the owner of record, sometimes a trust or LLC. "Estate of" on a record near Canterbury often points to an open probate, and the executor handles questions.
