THE MAY LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Itasca and St. Louis Moraines setting.

May township has 59.9 square miles of land in Cass County. Its Census reference point is in Itasca and St. Louis Moraines, 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.

Regional context: Northern Lakes and Forests ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

May and Cass County

May is associated with Cass 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.

Cass County

May by land and water

The Census records 0.52 square miles of water within May, or 0.9% of its total area. It is 15.4 percentage points lower than the 16.3% recorded for Cass County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, May township has 43.1 times the land area of nearby Motley city (1.39 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
May land.

These are questions we consider as a potential buyer, based on this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. Our purchase decision depends on the actual parcel.

01

Locate the parcel within May

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

02

Read the Itasca and St. Louis Moraines setting

Itasca and St. Louis Moraines 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 Motley

Motley is 4.2 miles southwest of the May 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 May
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 May?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Cass County. May’s 59.9 square miles of land include many different property situations; we consider the exact parcel for our own purchase.

Is every May property in Itasca and St. Louis Moraines?+

No. Itasca and St. Louis Moraines is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The May 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 Motley as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 4.2 miles southwest of May’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 May?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell USA Land Offers 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.
