About this map

Wood sits as a quiet settlement at the intersection of State Hwy H and NW Gospel Rd in this 2017 study of the DeKalb County countryside. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Third Fork and Lost Cr, which feed several local water bodies including the Gene Carte Farm Lake and the Maysville Reservoir in the southeast corner.

For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several family-named burial grounds, including Butler Cem, Smith Cem, Botts Cem, and Sharp Cem. The rural road network, largely composed of named routes like NW Crabill Rd and NW Liberty Rd, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating a traditional Midwestern agricultural grid that has persisted into the 21st century.
