Elk and Price County
Elk is associated with Price 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.
Elk by land and water
The Census records 2.69 square miles of water within Elk, or 5% of its total area. It is 3.1 percentage points higher than the 1.9% recorded for Price County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Elk town has 19.4 times the land area of nearby Phillips city (2.66 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
