About this map

Colfax sits at the northern edge of this Dunn County landscape, where the waters of Mirror Lake meet the surrounding rural terrain. The geography is defined by a series of south-flowing waterways, including Sinking Cr, Muddy Cr, and Big Elk Cr, which eventually converge into Elk Cr. This drainage pattern influenced the development of the local road network, which transitions from a structured grid near the settlements to more winding routes that follow the contours of the land.

To the south, the village of Elk Mound is situated near the prominent terrain feature also named Elk Mound, providing a clear focal point for the lower portion of the sheet. Between these two primary communities, smaller locales like Pine Grove and sites of local importance such as Evergreen Cem appear. Notable elevations like Panther Hill rise above the agricultural fields, marking the divide between the various creek valleys.
