THE BUTTERFIELD LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Cadillac Hummocky Moraines setting.

Butterfield township has 35.4 square miles of land in Missaukee County. Its Census reference point is in Cadillac Hummocky Moraines, within Northern Lakes and Forests.

Glacial hills, till plains, sandy outwash and old lake basins create a varied northern landscape. Conifer and hardwood forests surround many lakes across these glacially shaped uplands.

Butterfield and Missaukee County

Butterfield is associated with Missaukee 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.

Missaukee County

Butterfield by land and water

The Census records 0.62 square miles of water within Butterfield, or 1.7% of its total area. It is 0.1 percentage points higher than the 1.6% recorded for Missaukee County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Butterfield township has 1 times the land area of nearby Enterprise township (34.5 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Butterfield 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 Butterfield

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Butterfield. Check the Missaukee County geography against the actual property location.

02

Read the Cadillac Hummocky Moraines setting

Cadillac Hummocky Moraines belongs to Northern Lakes and Forests. Is the tract on sandy outwash, moraine hills or a lake basin margin, and what do its survey and access records establish?

03

Check the route, beyond Enterprise

Enterprise is 5.3 miles north of the Butterfield 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?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Butterfield
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Butterfield?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Missaukee County. Butterfield’s 35.4 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Butterfield property in Cadillac Hummocky Moraines?+

No. Cadillac Hummocky Moraines is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Butterfield boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Enterprise as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 5.3 miles north of Butterfield’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Butterfield?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
