What is a parcel map?

A parcel map is a detailed drawing or mapping of a specific area of land that displays individual parcels or plots of land that have been divided or subdivided from a larger tract of land. These maps typically display the boundaries of each parcel, the size and shape of each parcel, and information related to the location of important features on the parcels.

Parcel maps are commonly used by government agencies, surveyors, engineers, and other professionals for various purposes, such as land use planning, property assessment, real estate development, and legal purposes.

Parcel maps can be obtained from government agencies or private surveying firms and are available in both hard-copy and digital formats. Some jurisdictions require that parcel maps be updated regularly to reflect changes in land ownership, lot size, or other relevant information.
