2022 Map of Woden

About this map

Woden serves as the primary hub for this agricultural portion of north-central Iowa, located where Bush Ave and Main intersect. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with the boundary between Kossuth Co and Hancock Co running vertically through the center along Ames Ave. For those tracing local family histories, three distinct burial grounds are documented: Bingham Township Cem to the south of town, Christian Reformed Cem further west, and Orthel Township Cem in the southeastern corner. Water drainage follows the subtle natural contours of the prairie via Buffalo Cr, Lindsey Cr, and Plum Cr, which deviate from the otherwise strict cardinal alignment of the township roads.
