2018 Map of Woodburn

About this map

Woodburn and the rural townships of Clarke County are defined by a network of sectional roads and small cemeteries that anchor the local genealogy. This survey documents the landscape where the eastern boundary meets Lucas County along Clarke-Lucas Ave. The settlement pattern centers on the town of Woodburn in the south and the small community of Ottawa further north, both linked by 330th Ave. The terrain is carved by the drainages of S Otter Cr and Brush Cr, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Co Rd H20. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for family burial grounds including Saint Marys Cem, Harrison Cem, and Walker Cem, each tucked away among the fields and creek valleys. These landmarks, along with the former stop at Jay, offer a detailed look at the enduring agrarian structure of the region.
