Northwest and Dickey County
Northwest is associated with Dickey 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.
Northwest by land and water
The Census records 0.54 square miles of water within Northwest, or 1.6% of its total area. It is 0.7 percentage points higher than the 0.9% recorded for Dickey County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Northwest township has 85.7 times the land area of nearby Kulm city (0.38 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
