2010 Map of Northwood

About this map

The city of Northwood serves as the focal point of this northern Iowa landscape, positioned at the crossing of major thoroughfares and the Shell Rock River. This survey illustrates the town's layout including the Northwood Post Office and the Northwood Municipal Airport to the east. The surrounding area is defined by its rectilinear grid of rural roads, including State Line Rd marking the Minnesota border, and the natural expanses of Turkeyfoot Prairie in the south. Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded across the quadrangle, such as Stateline Cemetery near the northern boundary and South Shell Rock Cemetery south of the main settlement. The Shell Rock River and its tributary Deer Creek carve subtle paths through the agricultural sections, providing a contrast to the geometric precision of the county's road network.
