1967 Map of Woodstock

About this map

Woodstock serves as the primary hub in this prairie landscape, where the local economy and geography are defined by the Old Railroad Grade and a series of managed wetlands. The terrain is notably marked by the East Branch Rock River winding through Rock and Burke townships, while the border of Pipestone and Murray counties bisects a region dotted with numerous glacial sloughs. Several conservation areas, including the Van Beek State Wildlife Management Area and Klinker State Wildlife Management Area, emphasize the importance of wildlife preservation in this agricultural zone. Genealogists and local historians will find specific landmarks such as School No 126, a rural Townhall, and the small settlement at Stony Point, along with several industrial Gravel Pits and Sandpits that reflect the area's geological extraction history during the late 1960s.
