2009 Map of Woodlawn

About this map

Capioma and Woodlawn anchor this agricultural landscape in Nemaha County, where the township grid meets a network of vital waterways. The terrain is defined by the drainage of the Delaware River and the meandering paths of Grasshopper Creek, Muddy Creek, and Plum Creek. This 2009 survey highlights the intersection of rural life and natural hydrology, showing the placement of the Woodlawn Cemetery along Woodlawn Rd and the small junctions of Fidelity and Fourmile Corners. The road system, including Wetmore Sabetha Rd and Acorn Rd, reveals how the settlement pattern was dictated by both the square-mile sections and the intervening creek valleys like those of Cedar Creek and Craig Creek.
