Where Ferguson fits in

Sections, lots and bearings
Missouri is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Kinloch cite section, township and range.

Write down the legal description for the tract near Berkeley before you request a deed or survey.
Limits of the parcel data
Listed acreage is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary for a parcel near Berkeley. For acreage around Cool Valley, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Getting answers from the right desk
