Stanton and Houghton County
Stanton is associated with Houghton 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.
Stanton by land and water
The Census records 1.33 square miles of water within Stanton, or 1.1% of its total area. It is 31.7 percentage points lower than the 32.8% recorded for Houghton County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
