THE LONG LAKE COLONY LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Drift Plains setting.

Long Lake Colony CDP has 0.67 square miles of land in McPherson County. Its Census reference point is in Drift Plains, within Northern Glaciated Plains.

Flat to gently rolling glacial terrain supports a prairie transition between taller and shorter grasses. Many temporary and seasonal wetlands occupy depressions left in the glacial landscape.

Long Lake Colony and McPherson County

Long Lake Colony is associated with McPherson 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.

McPherson County

Long Lake Colony by land and water

The Census records 0.01 square miles of water within Long Lake Colony, or 1.8% of its total area. It is 0.5 percentage points higher than the 1.3% recorded for McPherson County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Long Lake Colony CDP has 2.7 times the land area of nearby Wetonka town (0.25 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Long Lake Colony land.

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

01

Separate Long Lake Colony’s place name from its government

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

02

Read the Drift Plains setting

Drift Plains belongs to Northern Glaciated Plains. What do current parcel maps show about depressions, drainage and road frontage within the glacial plain?

03

Check the route, beyond Wetonka

Wetonka is 3 miles northeast of the Long Lake Colony 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 Long Lake Colony
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 Long Lake Colony?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in McPherson County. Long Lake Colony’s 0.67 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Long Lake Colony property in Drift Plains?+

No. Drift Plains is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Long Lake Colony 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 Wetonka as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 3 miles northeast of Long Lake Colony’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 Long Lake Colony?+

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.
