Pendleton County by land and water

The Census records 2.1 square miles of water within Pendleton County, or 0.3% of its total area. That share is close to Pendleton County’s 0.3%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Pendleton County has 1,238.5 times the land area of nearby Franklin town (0.56 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

The Census boundary meets Grant County, Hardy County, Pocahontas County, Randolph County within West Virginia. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.

01

Locate the parcel within Pendleton County

02

Read the Northern Sandstone Ridges setting

Northern Sandstone Ridges belongs to Ridge and Valley. Does the parcel follow a valley floor or cross a ridge, and which site-specific water and access records are available?

03

Check the route, beyond Franklin

Franklin is 2.1 miles south of the Pendleton County 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?

Does Northern Sandstone Ridges describe all of Pendleton County?+
