Pope County by land and water

The Census records 42.4 square miles of water within Pope County, or 5.9% of its total area. That share is close to Pope County’s 5.9%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Pope County has 53.5 times the land area of nearby Minnewaska township (12.6 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

The Census boundary meets Douglas County, Grant County, Kandiyohi County, Stearns County, Stevens County, Swift County within Minnesota. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Pope County 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 Pope County

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Pope County. The county includes 30 listed community geographies; a nearby community name does not prove the parcel is inside its limits.

02

Read the Alexandria Moraines and Detroit Lakes Outwash Plain setting

Alexandria Moraines and Detroit Lakes Outwash Plain belongs to North Central Hardwood Forests. How do the parcel's woods, open areas and lake or wetland edges relate to its surveyed boundaries and access? The wider county also reaches Northern Glaciated Plains; use the parcel’s location to choose the relevant setting.

03

Check the route, beyond Minnewaska

Minnewaska is 3.1 miles north of the Pope County 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?

Does Alexandria Moraines and Detroit Lakes Outwash Plain describe all of Pope County?+

The county’s mapped footprint intersects 3 regional units; Alexandria Moraines and Detroit Lakes Outwash Plain is the largest mapped share. County-scale information cannot establish the soil, slope, drainage, or development potential of one tract.
