Opening the Worthington GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, and for Worthington that means the Nobles County Beacon site.
Where the parcel data lives
The official parcel map for this area is the Nobles County Beacon site, and no login is needed to use it. For a home near Bigelow, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For a parcel near Wilmont, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each clerk in the county will want it.
Printing and saving

Keep the legal description for land near Rushmore for any title or survey request.
Worthington, MN: the basics
The town sits in Nobles County, Minnesota, and the county assessor maps its lots for land near Dundee. As the county seat, Worthington hosts the courthouse, handy when you need recorded documents.

Lots just outside the town limits near Wilmont usually answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Where the recorded documents are

Long-held tracts around Wilmont can go back through a long string of deeds, and a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
