THE POWERS LAKE LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Missouri Coteau Slope setting.

Powers Lake township has 35.6 square miles of land in Mountrail County. Its Census reference point is in Missouri Coteau Slope, within Northwestern Glaciated Plains.

Glaciated plains bridge the wetter eastern prairie and the drier, more broken Great Plains. Numerous prairie potholes and other seasonal or persistent wetlands are characteristic regional landforms.

Powers Lake and Mountrail County

Powers Lake 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

Powers Lake by land and water

The Census records 0.31 square miles of water within Powers Lake, or 0.9% of its total area. It is 5.1 percentage points lower than the 6% recorded for Mountrail County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Powers Lake township has 99.9% of the land area of nearby Sorkness township (35.6 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Powers Lake 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 Powers Lake

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

02

Read the Missouri Coteau Slope setting

Missouri Coteau Slope belongs to Northwestern Glaciated Plains. Do parcel-specific maps identify glacial depressions or drainage features, and how do they relate to the access route?

03

Check the route, beyond Sorkness

Sorkness is 4.6 miles south of the Powers Lake 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 Powers Lake
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 Powers Lake?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Mountrail County. Powers Lake’s 35.6 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Powers Lake property in Missouri Coteau Slope?+

No. Missouri Coteau Slope is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Powers Lake 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 Sorkness as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 4.6 miles south of Powers Lake’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 Powers Lake?+

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.
