About this map

The growing town of Buffalo and the nearby community of St. Michael anchor this landscape, where residential development meets a network of glacial lakes and wetlands. Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-defined burial grounds across the terrain, including Lakeview Cem, Mission Cem, and Zion Cem in the southwest, while Saint Marks Cem and Immanuel Cem serve the eastern township areas. The Buffalo Municipal Airport sits centrally, reflecting the modern infrastructure that connects these Wright County communities.

Water is the defining characteristic of the geography here, with significant bodies like Lake Pulaski and Washington Lake providing natural boundaries for suburban expansion. Smaller water features such as Paradise Lake, Gilchrist Lake, and Pohl Lake are scattered throughout, linked by drainage patterns like Frederick Cr. The map captures a transition period where traditional agricultural land is increasingly partitioned by new residential streets and thoroughfares like Settlers Pkwy and Co RD 113.
