Study the map and consider which corner(s) you really want to know the coordinates for. Step 3: Find the coordinates of one corner After that’s done, you can switch back and forth between street mode and aerial mode to locate the parcel using your eyes and your brain.Īfter you’ve located the parcel in Google Maps, you can proceed to step 3 and begin finding coordinates of the corners. The purpose is to convince Google to center the map roughly where the parcel is located. The goal of all the above strategies is not to pinpoint your parcel exactly. Just enter the names of any landmarks, streets, cross streets or preferably addresses that are nearby. If your parcel is not on a street, e.g., because it’s landlocked, do not fret. This strategy works best when the street is short. In this instance, Google centered the map over 2 miles away. This will cause the map to center somewhere on the correct street. For example, I could enter SW Scholls Ferry Rd, Portland OR. If you don’t know the cross street, enter just the street the parcel is on, along with city and state. This will cause the map will center a block away from the lot I’m interested in. For example, I could enter “SW Scholls Ferry Rd and Woods Ct, Portland OR”. If you don’t have any addresses at all, enter the street, cross street, city and state. It is 2900 SW Scholls Ferry Rd, Portland, OR. In my case, the lot I’m selling has no assigned address yet, but I do know the address for a house across the street. Or, if you don’t have the address, enter an address for an adjacent or nearby property along with the city and state. If you have an address, enter that into Google Maps. Step 2: Locate your parcel using Google Maps, your eyes, and your brain If you’re still not seeing them, you’re not crazy. If you’re not seeing them, verify that you’re in street mode. As one example, boundaries are not visible in Bend Oregon for some reason. Note that Google shows parcel boundaries for some parts of the US and not others.
Once you locate the parcel and you’re ready to find the corners you will need to be back in street mode. You can toggle back and forth between the modes by clicking on the box in the lower left corner of your screen. However, parcel boundaries and corners will only appear in street mode. You may find that the satellite images in aerial mode are useful in visually locating the parcel. In Google Maps there is street mode and aerial/earth mode. We’ll find the longitude and latitude of the corners for that parcel. I have a property I was selling previously in Portland Oregon on SW Scholls Ferry Rd. But that costs money and you don’t even own the parcel yet!įortunately, you can use online resources to find the approximate coordinates of corners for many parcels. Do you want to know the longitude and latitude of the corners of a parcel you are considering purchasing? The best way to determine corners is to hire a surveyor.
