Scope and Content
Each Utah county recorder is responsible to prepare and keep current plat maps for all land within the county (Utah Code, Annotated, 1953, 17-21-21). These maps delineate property boundaries and show current property ownership. The Washington County recorder has drawn a separate map for each section within each township, and where detail required, separate maps for portions of sections and community blocks. More recent plat maps have been further broken down by community blocks and subdivisions. This series contains three complete sets of ownership plats. The first, called Old Ownership Plats, is not dated, but is calculated to reflect ownership as of 1962. The second is assumed to be current as of microfilming in 1974, and likewise the third in 1989. The 1974 and 1989 maps indicate the book and page number where a deed of acquisition was recorded. The 1989 maps include street names but not street addresses.
Gaps in Series
Range 20 is missing from the 1989 filming.
Research Note
Many of the older ownership plats are faded and difficult to read, and part of range 13 was filmed twice.
