Its now amazing what is online as far as county records in the US. Vertualy all states now have a GIS database with landowner data bases. Texas is a good example. You can usually just do a search on something like "delaware property tax records" and it will come up for most States. There is almost a national mandate to gather all the Data into GIS data and the 2010 census will use that data to complete the census. While you will not have access to census data the GIS information gathered is public information. If you check around even most other countries are going to GIS systems and recording the same type of information. A search of "GIS DATA" for the location will give you tons of info. Not sure how many of you are using google earth but there is also www.esri.com and then look ArcGIS Explorer. In a lot of areas especially the west the resolution and data is far more extensive than google. Using either one to mark your finds by lat and long is a great tool to map with. As more tools come out for GIS its going to be a great help to any of us who are looking around. Unfortunately I live in Delaware USA so not a lot of good hunting around here but have a ranch in Texas that I hope someday I will have a chance to take some time and look over it is pretty big so that is a retirement project.

There are public records of all landowners. You will need to know the location in Township, Range, and Section (or part section, for example R54W, T12, 1/2 NE SEC 13. Best of luck. If that is convenient, stop and ask some locals in the area, at your own risk. Some landowners might not be keen on you checking with the County tax records as they might perceive it as spying on them.
