What is a Plat Book?
For those unfamiliar with the term, a plat book is a cadastral map that is drawn to scale, showing the divisions of a piece of land. Originating from the United States, the term “plat” can be pronounced as either /plæt/ or /plɑːt/. These maps are particularly focused on rural landownership, providing detailed acreage information, parcel boundaries, and section lines.
Specialty Maps and More
The 2023 Crawford County Plat Book is not just a landowner map; it includes specialty maps like the Crawford County Road Map. Additionally, it features 3D LiDAR Aerial Maps that face the landowner map pages. These aerial maps are enhanced using elevation data from the USGS’s National Elevation Dataset (NED), creating a 3D effect that shows the actual topography of the land.
Easy Navigation with Indexes
Navigating through the county’s roads and identifying rural landowners has never been easier, thanks to the Road Index and Landowner Index included in the book. These indexes serve as quick references for anyone looking to explore or understand the layout of Crawford County, Ohio.
