About this map

Eagle Grove and Goldfield serve as the primary hubs of this Wright County landscape, connected by a rigid grid of agricultural roads and the winding course of the Boone River. The area's history is written in its memorial grounds, from the Goldfield Cemetery near the river’s bend to the Wright County Burying Grounds and the dual proximity of Rose Hill Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery on the outskirts of Eagle Grove. These sites, along with the Goldfield Post Office and Eagle Grove Post Office, anchor the local community geography.

Infrastructure in this corner of Iowa is defined by extensive water management, visible in the engineered pathways of Ditch Number 4 and Ditch Number 94 which cut through the fertile plains. To the north, the Goldfield Bridge provides a crossing near the Oak Ridge Golf Course, while the Eagle Grove Municipal Airport occupies a significant tract between the two towns, highlighting the region's mid-century modernization within its traditional farming footprint.
