01

Locate the parcel within Spink County

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Spink County. Spink County’s 1,503.5 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Does Glacial Lake Basins describe all of Spink County?+

The county’s mapped footprint intersects 3 regional units; Glacial Lake Basins is the largest mapped share. County-scale information cannot establish the soil, slope, drainage, or development potential of one tract.
