You can't make an element "take up" multiple grids but you can make it span multiple cells by setting Grid.RowSpan or Grid.ColumnSpan as appropriate.

e.g.

<Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height= "*"/>
        <RowDefinition Height= "*"/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

    <!-- Map will take up left hand side -->    
    <Map Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" />

    <!-- top right -->
    <Button Content="+" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" /> 

    <!-- bottom right -->
    <List Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" /> 

</Grid>
