2018 Map of Northwood

About this map

The Shell Rock River meanders through the heart of northern Worth County, Iowa, anchoring the community of Northwood. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape defined by its grid of rural roads and water management systems like Ditch Number 40 and Ditch Number 11, which support the surrounding agricultural terrain. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several burial sites, including the Stateline Cem on the northern border, Sunset Rest Cem, and the uniquely named Seater Family Plot. These landmarks, along with the South Shell Rock Cem south of the main settlement, offer a detailed view of the area's local heritage and family history. The presence of the Northwood Municipal Airport and a network of numbered streets and avenues highlights the modern infrastructure integrated into this traditional farming region near the Minnesota border.
