Lee County by land and water

The Census records 2.44 square miles of water within Lee County, or 1.2% of its total area. That share is close to Lee County’s 1.2%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Lee County has 91 times the land area of nearby Beattyville city (2.3 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

The Census boundary meets Breathitt County, Estill County, Jackson County, Owsley County, Powell County, Wolfe County within Kentucky. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Lee County land.

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

01

Locate the parcel within Lee County

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Lee County. The county includes 1 listed community geographies; a nearby community name does not prove the parcel is inside its limits.

02

Read the Ohio/Kentucky Carboniferous Plateau setting

Ohio/Kentucky Carboniferous Plateau belongs to Western Allegheny Plateau. Does the surveyed tract include valley floor, hillside or both, and how does its road access reach each portion? The wider county also reaches Central Appalachians; use the parcel’s location to choose the relevant setting.

03

Check the route, beyond Beattyville

Beattyville is 1.6 miles southeast of the Lee County 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?
