2010 Map of Olaf

About this map

West Branch Iowa River meanders across this rural Wright County landscape, defining the hydrology of an area centered on the small settlements of Olaf and Bailey. The terrain is characterized by the presence of natural water bodies like West Lake and East Twin Lake, which sit just south of the Bailey settlement. Near the shore of the western lake, West Lake Cemetery serves as a localized point of genealogical interest for those tracing family roots in this agricultural region. The landscape is structured by a strict section-line road grid, including Maple Ave and 120th St, which connects these dispersed communities. To the south, Eagle Creek crosses the lower portion of the survey, further illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically shaped the development of this part of northern Iowa.
