FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Dunlap land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Start with the right county for Dunlap

Which of Crawford County, Harrison County appears on the tax bill? Save that county’s parcel number along with the street or map location. A city name by itself is not sufficient for this cross-county place.

02

Read the Western Loess Hills setting

Western Loess Hills belongs to Western Corn Belt Plains. Is the parcel on a till plain, loess hill or valley edge, and what existing drainage and access documentation is available?

03

Check the route, beyond Dow City

Dow City is 7.6 miles northeast of the Dunlap reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?
