THE FRANKLIN LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Nebraska/Kansas Loess Hills setting.

Franklin township has 32.1 square miles of land in Butler County. Its Census reference point is in Nebraska/Kansas Loess Hills, within Western Corn Belt Plains.

Glacial till plains and windblown loess hills make up the Western Corn Belt landscape. Near-level and rolling terrain are interspersed with steeper river valleys and hills.

Regional context: Western Corn Belt Plains ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Franklin and Butler County

Franklin is associated with Butler 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.

Butler County

Franklin by land and water

The Census records 0.16 square miles of water within Franklin, or 0.5% of its total area. It is 0.5 percentage points lower than the 1% recorded for Butler County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Franklin township has 7.7 times the land area of nearby David City city (4.19 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Franklin 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 Franklin

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

02

Read the Nebraska/Kansas Loess Hills setting

Nebraska/Kansas Loess Hills belongs to Western Corn Belt Plains. Is the parcel on a till plain, loess hill or valley edge, and what existing drainage and access documentation is available?

03

Check the route, beyond David City

David City is 2.3 miles west of the Franklin 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 Franklin
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 Franklin?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Butler County. Franklin’s 32.1 square miles of land include many different property situations; we consider the exact parcel for our own purchase.

Is every Franklin property in Nebraska/Kansas Loess Hills?+

No. Nebraska/Kansas Loess Hills is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Franklin 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 David City as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 2.3 miles west of Franklin’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 Franklin?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell land buyer Larry G, The Landman and the team 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.
