THE MODOC LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Carolina Slate Belt setting.

Modoc CDP has 3.98 square miles of land in McCormick County. Its Census reference point is in Carolina Slate Belt, within Piedmont.

The Piedmont is a belt of irregular plains and hills between the Appalachians and the coastal plain. A complex mixture of older rocks underlies its pine and hardwood woodland landscapes.

Regional context: Piedmont ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Modoc and McCormick County

Modoc is associated with McCormick 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.

McCormick County

Modoc by land and water

The Census records 3.19 square miles of water within Modoc, or 44.5% of its total area. It is 35.6 percentage points higher than the 8.8% recorded for McCormick County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Modoc CDP has 5.5 times the land area of nearby Parksville town (0.73 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Modoc land.

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

01

Separate Modoc’s place name from its government

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

02

Read the Carolina Slate Belt setting

Carolina Slate Belt belongs to Piedmont. Where does the parcel sit between a ridge, hillside and stream valley, and what does its survey show about road frontage?

03

Check the route, beyond Parksville

Parksville is 4.5 miles north of the Modoc 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 Modoc
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 Modoc?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in McCormick County. Modoc’s 3.98 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Modoc property in Carolina Slate Belt?+

No. Carolina Slate Belt is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Modoc 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 Parksville as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 4.5 miles north of Modoc’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 Modoc?+

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.
