THE DALTON LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Glaciated Low Allegheny Plateau setting.

Dalton borough has 3.02 square miles of land in Lackawanna County. Its Census reference point is in Glaciated Low Allegheny Plateau, within Northern Allegheny Plateau.

Rolling hills, broad valleys and low mountains are mantled by glacial deposits. Sandstone, shale and siltstone underlie a mix of open land and woodland across the northern plateau.

Dalton and Lackawanna County

Dalton is associated with Lackawanna 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.

Lackawanna County

Dalton by land and water

The Census records 0.06 square miles of water within Dalton, or 1.8% of its total area. It is 0.5 percentage points higher than the 1.3% recorded for Lackawanna County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Dalton borough has 1.7 times the land area of nearby Glenburn CDP (1.75 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Dalton 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 Dalton

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

02

Read the Glaciated Low Allegheny Plateau setting

Glaciated Low Allegheny Plateau belongs to Northern Allegheny Plateau. How does the tract divide between valley ground and hillside, and where does the documented road connection enter?

03

Check the route, beyond Glenburn

Glenburn is 1.6 miles southeast of the Dalton 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 Dalton
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 Dalton?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Lackawanna County. Dalton’s 3.02 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Dalton property in Glaciated Low Allegheny Plateau?+

No. Glaciated Low Allegheny Plateau is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Dalton 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 Glenburn as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 1.6 miles southeast of Dalton’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 Dalton?+

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.
