Online Surveyor Files
Vernon County has scanned and converted into digital format a significant volume of maps and information regularly used by professional land surveyors working in the county. This information consists of Public Land Survey System (PLSS) tie sheets, plat of survey maps, PLSS government plat maps, 1967 Corp of Engineer maps for the Kickapoo Valley Flood Control Project, the 1930's Flowage Survey Maps for the Mississippi River, 1896 & 1931 plat book pages, and reference documents pertaining to both Vernon County’s CSM Review Ordinance and the PLSS Bounty Program. These digital files are in Adobe .pdf format and can be downloaded from this site without charge.
Please note that Certified Survey Maps (CSM’s) or Subdivision Plats are not available on this site. Please contact the Register of Deeds office at deeds@vernoncounty.org or 608-637-5371.
There is no associated search database associated with this site. To locate a particular file or document, users will need to browse through the various folders. All of the folders are logically named so it should be fairly intuitive to search through them. PLSS Tie Sheets are organized by PLSS township and named using this naming convention Wisconsin-Corner-Point-Identification-System-jan06.pdf. Plat of Surveys are organized by PLSS township and section.
