About this map

Buffalo sits at the edge of its namesake Buffalo Lake in this 2010 topographic survey of central Wright County. The landscape is defined by its high density of glacial water bodies, from the sprawling Maple Lake and Birch Lake to the smaller basins of Abbie Lake and Sullivan Lake. Local aviation infrastructure is particularly prominent, featuring both the Maple Lake Municipal Airport and the specialized Buffalo Lake Seaplane Base.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant value in the distribution of parish and community burial sites, including Old Saint Timothy Cemetery, Saint Timothy Cemetery, and the Marysville Cemetery located near the southern boundary. The presence of the Vokaty-Yonak Dam and Deer Lake Dam illustrates the ongoing water management necessary in this lake-rich region, while the Wild Marsh Golf Course indicates the modern recreational transition of the lakeside acreage.
