St. Louis County publishes acreage for only some of its parcels, so acreage below sums the county's figure where there is one and the mapped boundary where there is not — marked † below. That is a close match for deeded acreage — the median of the two agrees where counties publish both — but it is not the deed, and it will differ where a deed runs to the centreline of a road or where several units share one footprint.
