Land in the
Beach Ridges and Sand Deltas setting.
Owego township has 36 square miles of land in Ransom County. Its Census reference point is in Beach Ridges and Sand Deltas, 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.

Owego and Ransom County
Owego is associated with Ransom 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.
Owego by land and water
The Census records 0.03 square miles of water within Owego, or 0.1% of its total area. That share is close to Ransom County’s 0.2%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Owego township has 1 times the land area of nearby Sheyenne township (35.7 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
