When a listing near Louisiana mentions a lot number, look up the Bowling Green plat map it refers to. In this Bowling Green guide: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Who keeps the Bowling Green plat map
For land near Ashburn, subdivision plats are recorded with the Recorder of Deeds, usually in a plat book or cabinet.
The free map to start with
Begin with the Pike County CAMAvision map; it maps every tax parcel in the county, Tarrants included. For land near Louisiana, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. Closer to Ashburn, the parcel card typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Metes and bounds instead
Acreage around Louisiana outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Frankford are kept by the Recorder of Deeds. Long-held tracts around Frankford can sit on many deeds, and a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Limits of the parcel data
Listed acreage is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on land around Eolia. In and around Tarrants, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
City limits and county records
Bowling Green is part of Pike County, Missouri, which means parcel data comes from the county. As the county seat, Bowling Green hosts the courthouse, which puts the Recorder of Deeds close by. For property near Ashburn, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the town limits out by Louisiana generally answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Sections, lots and bearings
Missouri uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Eolia is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Louisiana vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Louisiana when you talk to a surveyor.
Two different maps
The Pike County CAMAvision map draws parcels for taxes, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Who handles what
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Eolia looks off are handled by the County Assessor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Building or septic questions for a lot near Ashburn need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Pike County in a few facts
Bowling Green serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Tarrants, Curryville, Louisiana, and Frankford, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 17,935 people live in Pike County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 670 square miles. The county dates to 1818, so old deeds can run back a long way around Curryville. Places such as Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuge are easy to spot when you zoom out from Eolia.

Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Eolia, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Curryville and its lines keeps working without signal.
