Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Soil Survey of Wright County, Iowa Wright County, Iowa, is located about midway between the center of the State and its northern boundary and lies in the third tier of counties south of the Minnesota State line. The southeastern corner of the county is 66 miles due north of Des Moines. The county is bounded on the north by Hancock County, on the east by Franklin County, on the south by Hamilton County, and on the west by Webster and Humboldt Counties. It is composed of 16 townships, forming an approximate square, and comprises an area of 575 square miles, or 368,000 acres. The area lies wholly within the region overrun by the Wisconsin ice sheet, and the topography is largely constructional; that is, the surface features were formed by the deposition of glacial debris and not modified to any great extent by subsequent erosion. The county has two general types of topography, a relatively smooth till plain and a morainic hilly region. A line drawn from the center of the northern boundary of the county to a point on the southern boundary about 5 miles west of the southeastern corner will roughly divide the till plain on the west from the morainic hills on the east. The till plain is characterized by nearly level to undulating topography. Boone River and its few tributaries have not yet eroded valleys but flow in narrow channels. Their minor drainage ways have not penetrated over the whole surface, so that areas of several square miles may be untouched by streams, and many streams that penetrate flat areas do not as yet carry away efficiently the surplus water.
