2013 Map of Colfax North

About this map

Colfax sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the Red Cedar River meanders through a valley shaped by numerous glacial-era tributaries. The river's winding path dominates the western portion of the terrain, joined by smaller streams such as Eddies Cr and Bronken Cr. The rural character of northern Dunn County is defined here by a systematic grid of county highways and local avenues, including Co Hwy-M and Co Hwy-W, which cross a landscape partitioned for agriculture. To the east, the drainage network becomes more intricate with the various branches of Trout Cr and the long course of Running Valley Cr. Near the southern border, Eighteenmile Cr parallels State Road 40, illustrating how the region's modern transportation corridors were often dictated by the existing water gaps and valley floors.
