THE LEON LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Rochester/Paleozoic Plateau Upland setting.
Leon township has 37.8 square miles of land in Goodhue County. Its Census reference point is in Rochester/Paleozoic Plateau Upland, 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.

Leon and Goodhue County
Leon is associated with Goodhue 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.
Leon by land and water
The Census records 0.06 square miles of water within Leon, or 0.2% of its total area. It is 2.8 percentage points lower than the 2.9% recorded for Goodhue County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Leon township has 1.1 times the land area of nearby Warsaw township (34.5 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
