Odessa and Edmunds County
Odessa is associated with Edmunds 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.
Odessa by land and water
The Census records 1 square miles of water within Odessa, or 2.8% of its total area. It is 0.6 percentage points higher than the 2.2% recorded for Edmunds County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Odessa township has 1 times the land area of nearby Cloyd Valley township (34.7 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
