2016 Map of Buffalo West

About this map

Glacial lakes and small-town agricultural centers define this portion of Wright County, where the city of Buffalo and the village of Maple Lake anchor the landscape. The Soo Line railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, historically connecting these rural communities to broader regional markets. The map reveals a dense distribution of water bodies, including the significant Buffalo Lake, Deer Lake, and Maple Lake, which are interspersed with numerous smaller basins like Albert Lake and Berthiaume Lake. Local history and genealogy researchers will find multiple religious landmarks, notably the clusters of cemeteries such as Saint Francis Cem, Saint Timothy Cem, and Old Saint Timothy Cem. The presence of the Maple Lake Municipal Airport and a grid of county roads like Co Rd 37 NW reflects a developed infrastructure that supports the area's mix of lakeside residential life and farming.
