I can access the plat but it is unreadable.

The action to take depends on the MCR Book and Page.


Book of Plats 1 through 95; (except 023-18 which appears to be missing)

These plats are at the State of Arizona Department of Library, Archives & Public Records.

Helpful hint: You will probably have to physically go there to retrieve a copy. They do NOT have a full size copier, be prepared to make many 8½ x 11 or legal size prints if you need the whole plat.
