About this map

Woodbury County’s agricultural landscape is defined here by a series of north-south drainage basins, notably Wolf Cr and its tributaries. The land is organized by a strict grid of section lines and rural roads, such as Co HWY d30 and Co HWY d38, which cut across the varying elevations of the Loess Hills region. Small-scale human history is preserved in a significant concentration of rural burial grounds, including Fairfield Cem in the north and Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem in the south. These sites, along with Wolf Creek Cem and Lucky Valley Cem, suggest a history of localized township settlements and community centers that once anchored this farming district. The terrain is notably dissected by the E Fork Wolf Cr and E Br Wolf Cr, creating a complex topography that dictates the placement of farmsteads and field boundaries.
