Hunter and Sawyer County
Hunter is associated with Sawyer 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.
Hunter by land and water
The Census records 23.6 square miles of water within Hunter, or 31.1% of its total area. It is 24.2 percentage points higher than the 6.9% recorded for Sawyer County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
