If a legal description for land in Maryland Heights cites a lot number, you'll need the Maryland Heights plat map to make sense of it. This Maryland Heights guide covers: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Getting started with the Maryland Heights plat map
For a subdivision near Champ, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; use it to request a copy.
The free map to start with
Begin with the St. Louis County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every assessed parcel in the county, Breckenridge Hills included. Closer to Bridgeton, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For a parcel near Breckenridge Hills, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county will want it.
Maryland Heights, MO: the basics
Maryland Heights is part of St. Louis County, Missouri, and the county assessor maps its lots. If the land is near Breckenridge Hills, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the town limits near Bridgeton often follows county rules, not municipal ones.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
St. Louis County meets Madison County, IL, Monroe County, IL, St. Clair County, IL, Franklin County, and Jefferson County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Champ may be split in two county records, so check the adjacent map too. For property near St. Ann, our state page lists every neighboring county map across Missouri.
Two different maps
The St. Louis County ArcGIS parcel map draws parcels for taxes, but the recorded plat is what the deed relies on.
Legal descriptions in Missouri
Missouri uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Westwood is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Breckenridge Hills vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Bridgeton when you talk to a surveyor.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Breckenridge Hills, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Champ and its lines keeps working without signal.
Getting answers from the right desk
If the acreage or value on a parcel near St. Ann looks off go to the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Bridgeton are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
What a plat shows
Easements on the plat near Breckenridge Hills stay with the land when it sells; read the notes on the sheet.
When a plat changes
Lots near St. Ann can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
A quick look at the area
Clayton holds the county offices, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Champ, Creve Coeur, St. Ann, and Bridgeton, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 987,059 people call St. Louis County home (Census estimate, 2023) across about 508 square miles. St. Louis County was formed in 1812, and some chains of title near St. Ann are long. Features like Spanish Lake Park and Babler State Park make handy reference points on the map near Breckenridge Hills.
Getting a copy
In and around Creve Coeur, many recorder offices offer an online index, while others require a visit or a request; small fees are common.
Land outside a subdivision
Acreage around Westwood outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed from the Recorder of Deeds; the parcel line is a drawing of it, whether the land is near Westwood or elsewhere in the county. Inherited tracts near St. Ann can go back through several deeds, so a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
Limits of the parcel data
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary for a parcel near St. Ann. Owner names and values update on a schedule, so a fresh transfer around Champ 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.
