1972 Map of Woodworth

About this map

Woodworth serves as the focal point of this prairie landscape in the early 1970s, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad line. The settlement is surrounded by an intricate glacial wetland system, characterized by numerous small potholes and larger water bodies like Barnes Lake, Colby Lake, and Meander Lake. Much of this terrain is designated as a National Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the region's importance for migratory birds. To the south, the Gem Cem and a prominent Radio Tower provide specific landmarks for genealogists and local historians. The map also delineates several civil boundaries, including Wadsworth, Gerber, and Strong, while the southern expanse is dominated by the terrain of Marston Moor. Evidence of local industry is seen in the small Gravel Pit located north of the town site.
