When a deed near Union Grove says lot and block, the Sturtevant plat map is where those numbers come from. What this Sturtevant guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
The Sturtevant plat map: start here
For land around Yorkville, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; that makes the request quick.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the Racine County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each assessed parcel from Caledonia to Mount Pleasant. For property near Union Grove, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For acreage around Racine, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; each clerk in the county uses it to find the file.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Mount Pleasant go to the county real property listing office, since that office keeps the assessment data. Building or septic questions for a lot near Racine go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Union Grove, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Elmwood Park and its lines is a good backup.
A word on accuracy
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near Caledonia can sit some distance off the line on screen. For land near Elmwood Park, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
When there's no plat
Rural land near Caledonia that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Caledonia sit with the Register of Deeds. If you're looking near Racine, have ready the document number from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.

Land on the county line
Racine County meets Allegan County, MI, Ottawa County, MI, Kenosha County, Milwaukee County, and Walworth County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Caledonia can be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map as well.
