THE COLVIN LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Glacial Lakes Upham and Aitkin setting.

Colvin township has 33.6 square miles of land in St. Louis County. Its Census reference point is in Glacial Lakes Upham and Aitkin, 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.

Colvin and St. Louis County

Colvin is associated with St. Louis 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.

St. Louis County

Colvin by land and water

The Census records 2.4 square miles of water within Colvin, or 6.7% of its total area. It is 2.3 percentage points lower than the 8.9% recorded for St. Louis County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Colvin township has 32% of the land area of nearby White township (105.2 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Colvin 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 Colvin

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

02

Read the Glacial Lakes Upham and Aitkin setting

Glacial Lakes Upham and Aitkin 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 White

White is 11.7 miles north of the Colvin 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 Colvin
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 Colvin?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in St. Louis County. Colvin’s 33.6 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Colvin property in Glacial Lakes Upham and Aitkin?+

No. Glacial Lakes Upham and Aitkin is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Colvin 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 White as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 11.7 miles north of Colvin’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 Colvin?+

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.
