About this map

Woden anchors this northern Iowa landscape, appearing as a compact grid of streets in a region dominated by a precise section-line road network. The settlement's central civic life is marked by the Woden Post Office, while the surrounding rural landscape is defined by its agricultural layout and drainage. Watercourses like Buffalo Creek and Lindsey Creek meander through the townships, diverging from the rigid cardinal directions of the gravel roads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds across the quadrangle. The Bingham Township Cemetery sits just south of the town center, while the Christian Reformed Cemetery and Orthel Township Cemetery are situated further out, serving the farming communities of Bingham and Orthel townships. To the east, the presence of Lake George provides a natural landmark amidst the expansive fields, illustrating the subtle variations in the Prairie Pothole region's topography.
