THE NORFOLK LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Southern New England Coastal Plains and Hills setting.
Norfolk town has 14.9 square miles of land in Norfolk County. Its Census reference point is in Southern New England Coastal Plains and Hills, within Northeastern Coastal Zone.
Irregular plains and low hills form a coastal transition with glacial lakes and oak-pine woodland. This northeastern landscape is gentler than the mountainous country farther inland.

Norfolk and Norfolk County
Norfolk is associated with Norfolk 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.
Norfolk by land and water
The Census records 0.5 square miles of water within Norfolk, or 3.2% of its total area. It is 7.6 percentage points lower than the 10.9% recorded for Norfolk County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Norfolk town has 4.7 times the land area of nearby Millis-Clicquot CDP (3.14 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
