Blufflands and Coulees setting.
West Point town has 28.6 square miles of land in Columbia 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.

West Point and Columbia County
West Point is associated with Columbia 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.
West Point by land and water
The Census records 3.8 square miles of water within West Point, or 11.7% of its total area. It is 7.9 percentage points higher than the 3.8% recorded for Columbia County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, West Point town has 34.8 times the land area of nearby Merrimac village (0.82 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
