THE HOWIE LAND BRIEF

Land in the
River Breaks setting.

Howie township has 26.9 square miles of land in Mountrail County. Its Census reference point is in River Breaks, within Northwestern Great Plains.

Rolling semiarid plains are punctuated by buttes, badlands and river breaks. Much of the regional terrain developed on sandstone, siltstone and shale without the leveling influence of continental glaciers.

Regional context: Northwestern Great Plains ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Howie and Mountrail County

Howie is associated with Mountrail 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.

Mountrail County

Howie by land and water

The Census records 8.89 square miles of water within Howie, or 24.8% of its total area. It is 18.9 percentage points higher than the 6% recorded for Mountrail County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Howie township has 93.7% of the land area of nearby Osborn township (28.7 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Howie 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 Howie

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

02

Read the River Breaks setting

River Breaks belongs to Northwestern Great Plains. Is the tract open rolling ground or broken badland terrain, and which access and stock-water records are available?

03

Check the route, beyond Osborn

Osborn is 6.1 miles north of the Howie 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 Howie
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 Howie?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Mountrail County. Howie’s 26.9 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Howie property in River Breaks?+

No. River Breaks is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Howie 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 Osborn as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 6.1 miles north of Howie’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 Howie?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G 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.
