Nickerson and Pine County
Nickerson is associated with Pine 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.
Nickerson by land and water
The Census records 0.6 square miles of water within Nickerson, or 0.8% of its total area. It is 0.8 percentage points lower than the 1.6% recorded for Pine County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Nickerson township has 1.9 times the land area of nearby Holyoke township (37.9 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
