Checking easements on a house in New Richmond? What you want is the New Richmond plat map, as it records the lot layout that deeds refer to. In this New Richmond guide: where to request a copy, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
The New Richmond plat map: start here
For land around Deer Park, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; that makes the request quick.
The viewer St. Croix County publishes
Go first to the St. Croix County Beacon site; it includes each assessed parcel from Roberts to Hammond. In and around Roberts, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. If you're looking near Hammond, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
New Richmond and the county around it
New Richmond is part of St. Croix County, Wisconsin, and the county assessor maps its lots. On ground around Roberts, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the city limits toward Hammond often falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Star Prairie, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Roberts and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Amended plats
An amended plat may change lots around Deer Park, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Roberts are handled by the county real property listing office, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Hammond are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
Backing up the map with records
Before you sign anything, get the recorded deed from the Register of Deeds; the parcel map near North Hudson only summarizes it. Older tracts around Roberts may trace back through many deeds, and a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Before you lean on the lines
The acreage figure is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on land around Hammond. For land near Deer Park, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Two different maps
The tax map on the St. Croix County Beacon site is a summary, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Land outside a subdivision
Acreage around Hammond outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Land on the county line
St. Croix County touches Washington County, MN, Barron County, Dunn County, Pierce County, and Polk County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Deer Park can show up in two county records, so look at the adjacent map too. Around Star Prairie, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map for Wisconsin.
Details on the New Richmond plat map
If you're looking near Deer Park, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.

Requesting the plat
Around Somerset, many recorder offices offer an online index, while others require a visit or a request; small fees are common.
Reading the legal description

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Deer Park vary in size.
