About this map

Woodland sits within a landscape defined by the winding course of the Weldon River and several key tributaries. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation of southern Iowa shows a network of named country roads, such as Co Rd R69 and Co Rd J46, that connect the region's agricultural homesteads. The topography is marked by notable drainage features including Steel Cr and Hog Cr, while Cedar Ridge provides a distinct change in elevation in the southern reaches of the map.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented throughout the township lines, including Lentz Cem, Cunningham Cem, and the Big Springs Cem. The placement of these cemeteries, often near the intersections of local paths like Granger and Garden, offers insight into the early community settlement patterns and the historical family plots of Decatur and Wayne counties.
