THE WASHINGTON LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Blufflands and Coulees setting.
Washington town has 52.8 square miles of land in Eau Claire 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.

Washington and Eau Claire County
Washington is associated with Eau Claire 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.
Washington by land and water
The Census records 0.35 square miles of water within Washington, or 0.7% of its total area. It is 0.5 percentage points lower than the 1.1% recorded for Eau Claire County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Washington town has 10.2 times the land area of nearby Altoona city (5.16 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
