THE OAKLAND LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Uplands and Valleys of Mixed Land Use setting.

Oakland CDP has 1.41 square miles of land in Cambria County. Its Census reference point is in Uplands and Valleys of Mixed Land Use, within Central Appalachians.

A rugged, deeply cut plateau of sandstone, shale and related rocks supports extensive forest. High hills and low mountains distinguish this Appalachian landscape from smoother neighboring regions.

Oakland and Cambria County

Oakland is associated with Cambria 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.

Cambria County

Oakland by land and water

The Census records 0 square miles of water within Oakland, or 0% of its total area. It is 0.8 percentage points lower than the 0.8% recorded for Cambria County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Oakland CDP has 40.6% of the land area of nearby Stonycreek township (3.47 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Oakland land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Separate Oakland’s place name from its government

Oakland is a Census-designated place, a statistical community rather than an incorporated municipality. Confirm the actual planning jurisdiction before treating a Oakland address as city approval. Cambria County is the geographic starting point for the records.

02

Read the Uplands and Valleys of Mixed Land Use setting

Uplands and Valleys of Mixed Land Use belongs to Central Appalachians. How much of the tract is on ridge tops or valley sides, and what records identify the approach road and usable areas?

03

Check the route, beyond Stonycreek

Stonycreek is 0.5 miles northeast of the Oakland 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 Oakland
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 Oakland?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Cambria County. Oakland’s 1.41 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Oakland property in Uplands and Valleys of Mixed Land Use?+

No. Uplands and Valleys of Mixed Land Use is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Oakland 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 Stonycreek as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 0.5 miles northeast of Oakland’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 Oakland?+

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.
