2018 Map of Woodston NW

About this map

The S Fork Solomon River defines the central valley of this Rooks County landscape, where the riparian corridor provides a stark contrast to the surrounding dissected uplands. This 2018 survey reveals a systematic grid of section-line roads, including J RD and K RD, that navigate the complex drainage networks of Elm Creek and Douglas Creek. These waterways, along with Medicine Creek and Jim Creek, have carved the terrain into the characteristic ridges and draws of the Great Plains. For local historians, the Woodstown Cem in the eastern portion of the map remains a primary landmark of the area's early settlement. The map reflects a predominantly agricultural region where the distribution of farmsteads is dictated by the availability of water and the accessibility of the township road system.
