THE HAMBURG LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Blufflands and Coulees setting.
Hamburg town has 35.5 square miles of land in Vernon County. Its Census reference point is in Blufflands and Coulees, within Driftless Area.
Deeply cut valleys divide a bedrock plateau with windblown soil on many uplands. Glaciers had less influence here than in neighboring regions, leaving a distinctly hilly landscape.

Hamburg and Vernon County
Hamburg is associated with Vernon 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.
Hamburg by land and water
The Census records 0.07 square miles of water within Hamburg, or 0.2% of its total area. It is 2.8 percentage points lower than the 3% recorded for Vernon County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Hamburg town has 42.1 times the land area of nearby Chaseburg village (0.84 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
