If a legal description for land in Mount Pleasant cites a lot number, look up the Mount Pleasant plat map it refers to. Covered here for Mount Pleasant: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Getting started with the Mount Pleasant plat map
For a subdivision near Yorkville, the deed usually cites the plat; use it to request a copy.
Getting to the right map
Go first to the Racine County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every tax parcel in the county, Caledonia included. For property near North Bay, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. In and around Sturtevant, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Mount Pleasant and the county around it
Mount Pleasant is part of Racine County, Wisconsin, which means parcel data comes from the county. If you're looking near Yorkville, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the town limits near North Bay usually answers to county rules, not municipal ones.

Where lines don't match in Mount Pleasant, the recorded plat and a survey control.
Legal descriptions in Wisconsin
Wisconsin follows the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Sturtevant cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Sturtevant vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Caledonia before you request a deed or survey.
The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements covering ground around North Bay sit with the Register of Deeds. In and around Yorkville, have ready the book and page shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
Lots, blocks and easements
Recorded easements around Racine stay with the land when it sells; check the plat notes and any covenants.
Getting a copy
With a lot near Elmwood Park, some counties put plat images online, otherwise call or visit with the reference; small fees are common.
Which office to call
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Elmwood Park looks off go to the county real property listing office, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near Sturtevant are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
A quick look at the area
Racine is the county seat, where most land records are kept. Smaller places on the map include Sturtevant, Elmwood Park, and Yorkville. Around 196,613 people live in Racine County (Census estimate, 2023) spread over about 333 square miles. Racine County was organized in 1836, and some chains of title near Sturtevant are long.
Land outside a subdivision
Acreage around Yorkville outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
When a plat changes
Lots near Elmwood Park can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, so check for later filings; street vacations near Caledonia show up in the records too.
Land on the county line
Racine County touches Allegan County, MI, Ottawa County, MI, Kenosha County, Milwaukee County, and Walworth County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Elmwood Park may show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map as well. If the land is near Sturtevant, the Platbookmapper state page lists every neighboring county map for Wisconsin.
What the map can't tell you
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not surveyed, so a fence near North Bay may sit several feet off the line on screen. If you're looking near Caledonia, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Elmwood Park, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Sturtevant is a good backup.

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.
