Tips:

• You can search using your Defined Area by returning to Search Wizard home and selecting the option that says "Apply defined area as additional constraint" By selecting this option you can ignore entering any other location information on the criteria page(s).

• This tool is great for searching county lines and/or creating an irregular area that is not defined by a county, Sec/Town/Range, RRC district, etc.

• This tool will not function across state lines.
