2015 Map of Woodlawn

About this map

Woodlawn, Fidelity, and Capioma anchor this rural landscape along the boundary of Nemaha Co and Brown Co. The terrain is defined by a series of creeks, including Craig Cr and Cedar Cr, which flow toward the Delaware River in the northeast and Muddy Cr in the south. This 2015 survey documents the enduring grid of section roads, such as 168th Rd and 120th Rd, that separate the agricultural plots. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of the Woodlawn Cem, Capioma Cem, and Saint Augustine's Cem, which mark the spiritual and social centers of these small prairie communities. The landscape reflects a stable pattern of land use, where the intersection of township lines like t2s r14e and t3s r15e dictates the placement of homesteads and crossroads settlements.
