About this map

Woolstock serves as the central hub of this 2018 survey, situated on the border of Wright and Hamilton counties. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated agricultural drainage system, evidenced by numerous numbered watercourses such as Ditch Number 171 and Ditch Number 149 that crisscross the prairie to feed the Boone River. This network of man-made channels demonstrates the enduring effort to manage the fertile Iowa soil for large-scale farming.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Woolstock Cem and the French Church Cem further east. The southern reaches are drained by the meandering White Fox Cr and Buck Cr, while the township lines of t90n r26w and t89n r25w provide the geometric structure for the region's gravel road grid. These roads, such as Blueberry Hill Dr and White Fox Rd, link the isolated farmsteads to the settlement at Woolstock.
