2013 Map of Olaf

About this map

The W Br Iowa River meanders southward through this rural section of Wright County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape dominated by agricultural grid-lines and scattered water bodies. The small settlement of Olaf serves as a primary point of reference in the southwest, while the locality of Bailey sits just north of the notable glacial depressions of East Twin Lake and West Twin Lake. These lakes, bisected by Co HWY-b63, represent significant hydrologic features in an otherwise strictly partitioned terrain. A network of rural avenues and numbered streets, such as Palm Ave and 120th St, provides access to the surrounding farmsteads. In the southeast, Eagle Cr and the winding river channel intersect, illustrating the subtle elevation changes that guide the region's surface water toward larger basins.
