2013 Map of Eagle Grove

About this map

The Boone River snakes through this section of Wright County, creating a natural border between the settled streets of Goldfield and the larger hub of Eagle Grove. This landscape is defined by a sophisticated water management network, evidenced by the numerous engineered waterways like Ditch Number 9 and Ditch Number 4 that support the surrounding agricultural plains. The northern settlement of Goldfield is anchored by the Goldfield Bridge and the Oak Ridge Golf Course, while to the south, Eagle Grove shows a dense residential grid supported by the Eagle Grove Municipal Airport. Local landmarks such as Buttermilk Cr and the small locality of Bac Grove provide specific points of interest for those tracing family roots in this part of Iowa. The transition from river bottom to surveyed township lines reveals the enduring geometry of Midwestern development as it appeared in the early 21st century.
