2018 Map of Woodward

About this map

Woodward stands at the northern edge of the Dallas County line, serving as a primary settlement hub along the Iowa prairie. This modern survey reflects the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System, where section lines dictate the path of rural roads like 130th St and 170th St. The landscape is deeply carved by the drainage of Beaver Creek and its tributaries, including Little Beaver Cr and Slough Cr, which create intricate elevation changes amidst the agricultural fields. Smaller locales like Moran appear along the 141 Diagonal, illustrating the importance of transit corridors in this region. For those researching local heritage, several significant burial grounds are preserved across the townships, including Woodward Cem, Xenia Cem, and the more isolated Beaver Cem and Greenwood Cem.
