North Fork and Madera County
North Fork is associated with Madera County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
North Fork by land and water
The Census records 0.04 square miles of water within North Fork, or 0.1% of its total area. It is 0.6 percentage points lower than the 0.8% recorded for Madera County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, North Fork CDP has 17.1 times the land area of nearby Bass Lake CDP (1.88 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
