2018 Map of Cornelia

About this map

Lake Cornelia and Elm Lake anchor this agricultural landscape in Wright County, where a network of section-line roads like Co Rd R38 and Page Ave connects the small settlement of Cornelia to the surrounding prairie. The northern edge of the survey reveals Morse Lake and the Ringsaker Cem, providing a clear record of local family history and land use in the early twenty-first century. The Iowa River winds through the eastern portion of the map, passing through the wooded terrain of Pikes Timber and under the Cornelia-Lake Bridge. This map captures the distinct water-management patterns of the region, from the natural glacial lakes to the channelized stretches of White Fox Cr and Eagle Cr, showing how water defines the boundaries of both modern agriculture and local recreation.
