Border and Divide County
Border is associated with Divide 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.
Border by land and water
The Census records 0.82 square miles of water within Border, or 2.3% of its total area. It is 0.3 percentage points lower than the 2.6% recorded for Divide County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Border township has 99.5% of the land area of nearby Coalfield township (35.4 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
