2010 Map of Cushing

About this map

Cushing serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Woodbury County, defined by a strictly organized section-line road network. The community is anchored by the Cushing Post Office and its nearby Cushing Cemetery, reflecting the enduring settlement patterns of the Iowa prairie. To the south, Rock Cemetery stands as another localized point of interest for genealogists and local historians. The terrain is carved by a series of south-flowing waterways, including Bacon Creek, Coon Creek, and the West Fork Battle Creek, which break the geometric precision of the township roads. These drainage systems, such as Moorhead Creek and Aldrich Creek, dictate the subtle shifts in the land where the grid of avenues like Taylor Ave and Union Ave meets the natural contours of the watershed.
