1972 Map of Woden

About this map

Woden serves as the primary hub of this North Central Iowa landscape, situated along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. This 1972 survey illustrates the geometric precision of the Midwestern township system, with the map clearly delineating the boundaries of Bingham, Buffalo, Wesley, and Orthel townships. The drainage pattern is defined by the winding courses of Buffalo Creek, Lindsey Creek, and Plum Creek, which navigate through a patchwork of agricultural fields and occasional landmarks such as Lake George. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Woden Ch and two distinct locations of the Township Cem, reflecting the area's rural settlement pattern during the early 1970s. Industrial activity is represented by multiple locations of a Gravel Pit, pointing to local resource extraction that supported the region's road and rail infrastructure.
