About this map

Buffalo serves as the primary hub in this portion of Wright County, where the street grid expands between Buffalo Lake and Lake Pulaski. The landscape is defined by its dense concentration of glacial basins, including large water bodies like Pelican Lake and the Wright County Waterfowl Production Area, which signal the region's importance for conservation and local recreation. For those tracing family lineages, several rural burying grounds are documented, such as Pelican Lake Cem, Saint Marks Cem, and Immanuel Cem, alongside the Lakeview Cem closer to the town center.

Infrastructure like the Buffalo Municipal Airport and the network of county roads, including Co Rd 113 and Co Rd 33 SE, reflect the transition from a purely agricultural environment to a more developed residential and transit-focused corridor. Numerous smaller lakes like Pohl Lake, Schmidt Lake, and Green Mountain Lake are scattered throughout the townships, showing the intricate hydrology that has shaped property lines and settlement patterns for generations.
