Tracking down the Highland Heights plat map
For land around Southgate, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Pulling up a parcel
The no-cost parcel map for this area is the LINK-GIS Map Viewer, and no login is needed to use it. Without an address in hand, follow Interstate 471 on the aerial and select the outline. For property near Crestview, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Fort Thomas are filed with the County Clerk. If the land is near Fort Thomas, use the document number from the tax record to skip a name search.
Places you'll see on the map

About 93,702 people live in Campbell County (Census estimate, 2023) on about 151 square miles. Campbell County was formed in 1794, and some chains of title near Wilder are long.

Highland Heights, KY: the basics
Highland Heights sits in Campbell County, Kentucky, and the county assessor maps its lots. For a home near Crestview, 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 near Cold Spring usually falls under county rules rather than the town's.
When a plat changes

Land on the county line
Campbell County meets Kenton County, Pendleton County, Clermont County, OH, and Hamilton County, OH, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Silver Grove can be split in two county records, so open the neighboring map before you assume the acreage.

Field tips

A word on accuracy
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near Wilder may sit some distance off the line on screen. On ground around Wilder, 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.
