County Maps

[mapper]

Franklin County Washington state GIS Department - Franklin County Geographic Information System
If that is the type of map you are looking for. Sometimes the state also has GIS maps like OGRIP or LIDAR maps for public use.
You can search for those if you like.

These are the folks that have what you need. I did the orthophoto work for them in the past, look for the various layers such as transportation(roads), parcels(property lines and parcel numbers), hydrology (streams, rivers and lakes, etc.). There is a wealth of information on line these days and most of it is free ( actually it your tax dollars at work so take advantage of it, a lot of the pay for play information is just a repackaged version of the public county/state GIS data). Another good source of geographic information is the USGS National Map http:// https://www.usgs.gov/products/maps/overview

Or, you could just go to your township office and ask for a map. Same with the county map. Go to the county courthouse and ask for a map. I've always gotten them for free here but some charge a nominal fee. When I lived in Ohio, the township charged a $2 copy fee but county maps were free if you lived in the county.

State DOT websites usually have these maps available to view. Washington DOT has theirs in an online app.

WSDOT - Maps and Data

Click on Online Map Center.
Then click on the GeoPortal app (it's the one with the globe of the earth pic).
After the Geoportal app loads in your web browser, check the Township / Section box in the left column. Make sure Township and Section boxes are checked in the sub section.
Use you mouse to move around and zoom in on what you want to look at in the map.

What do you consider a "county map"?

Good maps are downloadable from USGS for FREE.

Another service of your federal government that many here seem to bash.

Just 4 years ago, you had to print a form, and put a check in an envelop to order maps. This is what happens when a government runs something. You can order **** online with a credit card for 20 years.

Last night I ordered a couple maps on line.

I also downloaded a bunch, which is cool

I don't know where you pulled that up. USGS has had FREE downloadable maps for a LONG time.

I downloaded all the maps around my area in Mississippi in 2011 (5 years ago) prior to buying my most recent house.

Sure, if you didn't know where to look you could pay for them.

I'd been in the mapping business since 1975 before I retired in 2011.

Delorme made great maps. With google i have never needed a paper map in yrs.

Paper is nice for size. It is hard to get big picture on monitor.

I tell people you can have more then tool.

I can't speak to every state, but Iowa, we get sent Platt map books every year free of charge from some outfit. If you own land in the country, you get a Platt book. shows all roads and property ownership information broken down into section of the county. Not sure if that is what you were looking for.
