New Logan County Plat Book now available

[May 10, 2013]  The 2013 Logan County Land Plat Book is now available for purchase at several locations in Logan County: State Bank of Lincoln, Bock & Associates, Lincoln College, Logan County Title, Mike Maske Auction Service, the Logan County assessor's office, Logan County recorder's office and Cooperative Extension.

The new plat book was produced by Rockford Map Publishers of Rockford. This is the latest edition since 2005 and the 15th edition of the Logan County Plat Book produced by the publisher since the first edition in 1965.

Plat books are a useful reference tool for landowners and business owners and are a necessary reference guide for industries such as real estate, agriculture, land development, utilities and municipal government.

The plat book accurately displays parcel boundaries, roadways, waterways, railways, section lines, municipal boundaries, acreage and an index to owners. A keyed index is included showing more data for smaller parcels between 7 and 29 acres.

Aerial map images are an additional feature included in the new plat book. An aerial map lies opposite each township parcel map and provides a quick gauge to the use of a particular parcel, whether it be agriculture, forestry, residential or commercial.

Latitude and longitude grids for GPS reference are also provided, along with a rural addressing grid. Due to the growing popularity of GPS systems, the latitude-longitude grid has become a widespread appeal to recreational users of the book.

The plat books are for sale as a service to the community and in time for gift occasions such as Mother's Day and Father's Day.
