The register behind the map
MDC register · retrieved October 9, 2026 · update year unconfirmed
151 records are included in this imported selection. 151 have approximate map points; 0 remain searchable without a marker. Multiple trees can share one town or county point.
Register editions, retrieval dates, and individual measurement dates describe different things. This snapshot does not confirm current tree condition. Approximate map points do not locate individual trees or establish permission to visit.
Missouri Department of Conservation’s official GIS register, retrieved October 9, 2026. All 151 records are included, with source names, measurements and published scores preserved. MDC describes the register as including trees that are, or were, qualified champions. Current titles and tree conditions are unconfirmed.
All records use 59 approximate Census county or independent-city points. MDC lists public access for 51 records and no public access for 100. Public site names appear where access is listed; personal owner names, private locations and exact tree coordinates are excluded. St. Louis City and St. Louis County remain separate.
Circumference is shown in inches; height and crown spread in feet, following MDC’s measuring guidance. Published scores are retained even where they differ from calculated totals. Measurement dates and the latest record-update year are not supplied. The service metadata was created December 2, 2021; this is not a confirmed list edition.
