Macon County by land and water

The Census records 11.2 square miles of water within Macon County, or 1.4% of its total area. That share is close to Macon County’s 1.4%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Macon County has 771.9 times the land area of nearby Bevier city (1.04 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

The Census boundary meets Adair County, Chariton County, Knox County, Linn County, Monroe County, Randolph County, Shelby County within Missouri. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.
