THE LA CRESCENT LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Blufflands and Coulees setting.

La Crescent city has 3.37 square miles of land in Houston County, Winona County. Its Census reference point is in Blufflands and Coulees, within Driftless Area.

Deeply cut valleys divide a bedrock plateau with windblown soil on many uplands. Glaciers had less influence here than in neighboring regions, leaving a distinctly hilly landscape.

One place name. 2 county geographies.

La Crescent intersects 2 county geographies: Houston County, Winona County. A La Crescent mailing address alone cannot choose the right record office; use the county and parcel identifier on the tax bill or deed.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

01

Start with the right county for La Crescent

Which of Houston County, Winona County appears on the tax bill? Save that county’s parcel number along with the street or map location. A city name by itself is not sufficient for this cross-county place.

02

Blufflands and Coulees belongs to Driftless Area. Does the property include ridge-top ground, valley bottom or steep connecting slopes, and where is documented access located?

03

Check the route, beyond La Crescent

La Crescent is 2.5 miles southwest of the La Crescent 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?
