When a listing near Florence mentions a lot number, the Apache Junction plat map is where those numbers come from. In this Apache Junction guide: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Getting started with the Apache Junction plat map
For a lot in Apache Junction, the deed usually cites the plat; that makes the request quick.
Getting to the right map
Your first stop is the Pinal County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every assessed parcel from Queen Creek to Florence. With a lot near Queen Creek, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. Out toward Eloy, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Getting answers from the right desk
If the acreage or value on a parcel near San Tan Valley looks off go to the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around San Tan Valley go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Where Apache Junction fits in
Apache Junction lies within Pinal County, Arizona, which means parcel data comes from the county. Out toward Queen Creek, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits toward Eloy generally answers to county rules rather than the town's.
When there's no plat
Rural land near Queen Creek that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land near Casa Grande.
Land on the county line
Pinal County meets Gila County, Graham County, Maricopa County, and Pima County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Eloy that runs to the line may be split in two county records, so look at the adjacent map too. Closer to Coolidge, our state page lists each bordering county map for Arizona.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
Where lines don't match near Florence, trust the recorded documents over the GIS layer.
How land is described here
Arizona follows the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Florence cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Coolidge can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near San Tan Valley when you talk to a surveyor.
Places you'll see on the map
Florence serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, and Casa Grande. Around 484,239 people call Pinal County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over about 5,366 square miles. Pinal County was organized in 1875, and some chains of title near Eloy are long. Features like Casa Grande Ruins National Monument help you orient on the aerial around Eloy.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Casa Grande, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Florence with its ID keeps working without signal.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Florence sit with the County Recorder. For a home near Queen Creek, have ready the instrument number shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around San Tan Valley, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Lots, blocks and easements
Utility or drainage strips on a lot in Apache Junction stay with the land when it sells; check the plat notes and any covenants.
Ordering the Apache Junction plat map
Closer to Coolidge, some counties put plat images online, otherwise call or visit with the reference; small fees are common.
What the map can't tell you
Listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real boundary on land around Coolidge. For a parcel near Coolidge, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
