Let’s say I have 6 tracts totaling 500 acres in an abstract that has roughly 2500 acres ( Leon County, Tx. ), how can I find out specifically where my tracts sit within the abstract? The division order provides a map but I don’t know where our abstracts are within the map that they provide. I will soon join NARO, maybe they can help? Thank you!
Do you have acreage spread out between multiple abstracts? Or are you saying there is one abstract number which has 2500 acres and you have interests in certain sub-tracts? Within a county, each abstract number is unique as to the acreage as the abstract number was issued by the General Land Office when the tract (could be all or part of a section or survey) was awarded by Texas to an owner. On RRC GIS Viewer, you can search by county and abstract # to pull up the location of the abstract within the county. Read the legal description in your deed or lease for each abstract number/ section / block to determine where your minerals are located within the abstract. If you post one sample legal description, someone can give you more guidance to locating where your minerals are. On a side note, the division order describes the acreage allocated to the unit or well, and you may or may not own minerals within the entire area.
