2018 Map of Buffalo Center

About this map

Buffalo Center and Rake anchor this agricultural landscape in northern Iowa near the Minnesota border. The terrain is defined by an extensive water management network, including Drainage Ditch Number 21 and Drainage Ditch Number 64, which support the intensive farming characteristic of the region. The Middle Br Blue Earth River winds through the central and southern sections, providing a natural contrast to the rigid grid of county roads such as Co RD r20 and Co RD a16. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites including Olena Mound Cem and Graceland Cem near Buffalo Center, as well as the Lincoln Township Cem further east. These cemeteries, along with West Lutheran Cem and East Lutheran Cem, serve as primary landmarks for tracing family histories across the townships of Winnebago and Kossuth counties.
