Is there any way to find out what section your are in without going to the courthouse and fighting the hundreds of people finding out about their mineral rights? Also is there any way to find out what sections the O&G companies are leasing in or interested in?
I have access to parish maps where I work that have the township/range/sections numbers on them. Drop me an email at b_hllnd@yahoo.com, describing as best you can where you live (my maps don't have parish road names on them, but I'm pretty familiar with the parish), and I can give you a pretty good guess. Ultimately your deed will have the info, if you have a copy. Me, personally I have a copy of the subdivision plat where I live, with the legal description of the subdivision on the plat, including the Township, Range, and Section.
crazycat, look on your property deed, there will be a legal description that includes a T__ (Township)and a R__ (Range) and a section number. If you live in a subdivision there will be more more breakdowns. My sister-in-law went to the Bossier Parish Court House in Benton for me last Monday and there was not a wait. They even ask her what she wanted and someone looked it all up for her because she was not familiar with the process. It cost $2.00 to get a copy of my deed.
You can also access the Bossier Parish Assessors office on-line and see if they give a legal description of your property. You will need your addressor property ID number.
I too, would like to know if there is a place that indicates what areas are being "leased or interested in."
Har C2 - I'm gonna embarass myself again, but maybe somebody else needs to know too. How do you figure out the north/south/east/west part? I saw it on another thread awhile back and now I can't find it.
