Thelma and Burleigh County
Thelma is associated with Burleigh 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.
Thelma by land and water
The Census records 1.95 square miles of water within Thelma, or 5.4% of its total area. It is 3.2 percentage points higher than the 2.1% recorded for Burleigh County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Thelma township has 1.1 times the land area of nearby Crown Hill township (30.8 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
