2014 Map of Wood River

About this map

The settlement of Wood River is the central hub of this Hall County survey, situated where the US Highway 30 W and the railroad corridor converge. The town's grid is clearly defined by local landmarks like Wood River Cem and various residential streets such as Oak St and Main St. Outside the town center, the landscape is dominated by the complex hydrology of the Platte River valley, where the river splits into multiple distinct branches, including the North Channel Platte River, Middle Channel Platte River, and South Channel Platte River. These braided channels create large landforms such as Shoemaker Island and Elm Island, illustrating the river's historical influence on local geography and property boundaries. North of the town, smaller watercourses like Silver Cr wind through a landscape organized by a rigorous section-line road network.
