Kaw and Wabaunsee County
Kaw is associated with Wabaunsee 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.
Kaw by land and water
The Census records 0.96 square miles of water within Kaw, or 2.2% of its total area. It is 1.6 percentage points higher than the 0.7% recorded for Wabaunsee County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Kaw township has 342.5 times the land area of nearby Belvue city (0.12 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
