West Point and Brule County
West Point is associated with Brule 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.
West Point by land and water
The Census records 3.64 square miles of water within West Point, or 7.1% of its total area. It is 3.7 percentage points higher than the 3.5% recorded for Brule County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
