Chery and Jerauld County
Chery is associated with Jerauld 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.
Chery by land and water
The Census records 0.24 square miles of water within Chery, or 0.7% of its total area. It is 0.5 percentage points lower than the 1.2% recorded for Jerauld County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
