About this map

Woodbury serves as the focal point of this topographic study, situated where the East Fork Stones River meets the drainages of Rush Creek and Doolittle Branch. The settlement pattern reflects the complex topography of Cannon County, with homes and infrastructure following narrow hollows like Preston Hollow and Woods Hollow. A 1970s revision, indicated in purple, highlights the expansion of the town's footprint, including the Filtration Plant and the development of the City Park near the riverbanks.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial grounds and landmarks scattered throughout the hills. Numerous small cemeteries such as Parchcorn Cem, Vance Cem, and Gaither Cem are identified alongside community centers like Sunny Slope Ch and Bethlehem Ch. The presence of many fords across the Smith Fork and other waterways illustrates a landscape where local travel still relied on traditional crossing points between the various ridges and knobs.
