THE UPPER RED OWL LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Missouri Plateau setting.

Upper Red Owl township has 35.9 square miles of land in Meade County. Its Census reference point is in Missouri Plateau, within Northwestern Great Plains.

Rolling semiarid plains are punctuated by buttes, badlands and river breaks. Much of the regional terrain developed on sandstone, siltstone and shale without the leveling influence of continental glaciers.

Upper Red Owl and Meade County

Upper Red Owl is associated with Meade 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.

Meade County

Upper Red Owl by land and water

The Census records 0.05 square miles of water within Upper Red Owl, or 0.1% of its total area. It is 0.2 percentage points lower than the 0.3% recorded for Meade County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Upper Red Owl township has 99% of the land area of nearby Eagle township (36.3 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Upper Red Owl land.

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

01

Locate the parcel within Upper Red Owl

02

Read the Missouri Plateau setting

Missouri Plateau belongs to Northwestern Great Plains. Is the tract open rolling ground or broken badland terrain, and which access and stock-water records are available?

03

Eagle is 18.8 miles north of the Upper Red Owl 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 Upper Red Owl
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 Upper Red Owl?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Meade County. Upper Red Owl’s 35.9 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Upper Red Owl property in Missouri Plateau?+

No. Missouri Plateau is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Upper Red Owl 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 Eagle as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 18.8 miles north of Upper Red Owl’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 Upper Red Owl?+

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.
