THE HOWES LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin setting.

Howes township has 35.7 square miles of land in Cass County. Its Census reference point is in Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin, within Lake Agassiz Plain.

The former bed of glacial Lake Agassiz forms an exceptionally flat plain in the Red River valley. Thick lake sediments overlie older glacial deposits across this historic prairie landscape.

Howes and Cass County

Howes is associated with Cass 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.

Cass County

Howes by land and water

The Census records 0.12 square miles of water within Howes, or 0.3% of its total area. It is 0.2 percentage points higher than the 0.2% recorded for Cass County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Howes township has 49.7 times the land area of nearby Embden CDP (0.72 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Howes 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 Howes

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

02

Read the Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin setting

Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin belongs to Lake Agassiz Plain. What do the parcel's elevation and drainage records show, and how does its road access connect across the flat former lakebed?

03

Check the route, beyond Embden

Embden is 3.9 miles southeast of the Howes 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 Howes
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 Howes?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Cass County. Howes’s 35.7 square miles of land include many different property situations; we consider the exact parcel for our own purchase.

Is every Howes property in Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin?+

No. Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Howes 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 Embden as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 3.9 miles southeast of Howes’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 Howes?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell USA Land Offers 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.
