About this map

Lake Cornelia and its namesake settlement define this portion of Wright County, where the prairie landscape is punctuated by significant glacial lakes and meandering waterways. To the north, Morse Lake sits among a grid of section roads including Obrien Ave and 140th St, while Elm Lake occupies the south-central portion of the quadrangle. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the precise township and range divisions, such as t93n r24w, which organize the farmsteads and fields surrounding the community of Cornelia.

Tracing the natural drainage of the land reveals the Iowa River flowing through the eastern reaches, joined by the West Branch Iowa River. Cultural and recreational landmarks are scattered throughout, from the Ringsaker Cem near the northern boundary to the wooded preserve at Pikes Timber. A small western edge of Belmond appears in the northeast, showing the town's expansion toward the river valley. Transportation is facilitated by local routes like Co Rd C26 and the prominent Cornelia Lake Bridge.
