THE PERU LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Blufflands and Coulees setting.
Peru town has 19.4 square miles of land in Dunn 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.

Peru and Dunn County
Peru is associated with Dunn 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.
Peru by land and water
The Census records 1.22 square miles of water within Peru, or 5.9% of its total area. It is 4.3 percentage points higher than the 1.6% recorded for Dunn County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Peru town has 63.3% of the land area of nearby Rock Creek town (30.6 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
