About this map

Lake Cornelia and Elm Lake form the centerpiece of this Wright County landscape, anchored by the small community of Cornelia. Situated just south of Belmond, this area is defined by its glacial prairie potholes and the meandering drainage of the Iowa River and its various tributaries. The map shows a highly structured agricultural grid, where roads like Madison Ave and Page Ave partition the fertile Iowa plains.

Natural landmarks such as Pikes Timber provide contrast to the cultivated fields, while Morse Lake and Little Eagle Cr mark the local hydrology. The presence of the Cornelia Lake Bridge suggests the importance of local connectivity across the lakes. For those researching the geography of north-central Iowa, this survey provides a clear view of the relationship between the prairie lake system and the rural township road network.
