Arrangement
Chronological by filming year, thereunder by location.
Plat maps are arranged by location. Washington County is organized into six-mile-square townships, identified by distance and direction from the Salt Lake base line and meridian. Townships are identified in terms of range and township, with range being distance west of the Salt Lake meridian, and township being the distance south of the base line. Each township is divided into 36 sections. Washington County occupies townships 37-43 south, at a range of 10 to 20 west of the Salt Lake meridian. Plat maps are arranged numerically by range, thereunder, numerically by township, and thereunder numerically by section number. In the 1974 plats the recorder separated plats for the city of Saint George and put them at the beginning. He created separate maps for each block, arranging them sequentially according to plat letter, and thereunder numerically by block number. Thereafter, he began with range 10 and presented each section in sequence.
In the 1989 plats the recorder also began with Saint George, but then separated out several additional communities, arranging them in like manner according to plat then block number. Following these communities, the recorder created a plat map for each subdivision and arranged these alphabetically. He then followed with plats for each section, beginning with range 10 and continuing to range 20.
