2008 PLATBOOKS AVAILABLE

Marathon County Land Atlas and Plat Book

Plat books are a convenient reference for local governments, private realty, surveying companies, and the general public. Sponsored by the Marathon County 4-H Leaders Federation, they make use of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) to represent land ownership patterns on a county-wide basis.

Plat books are prepared from a variety of source data including U.S. Census TIGER (digital line) files, historical local government tax parcel maps, aerial photography, and property descriptions. These records are used to produce a generalized representation of current land ownership patterns, along with planimetric features, such as roads, water bodies, and railroads.
