THE CHARLTON LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Mio Plateau setting.
Charlton township has 100.4 square miles of land in Otsego County. Its Census reference point is in Mio Plateau, 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.

Charlton and Otsego County
Charlton is associated with Otsego 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.
Charlton by land and water
The Census records 1.83 square miles of water within Charlton, or 1.8% of its total area. It is 0.3 percentage points lower than the 2.1% recorded for Otsego County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Charlton township has 1.5 times the land area of nearby Vienna township (69.1 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
