The Town of Woodmohr is roughly a 6-mile (10 km) square, with a few notches added and removed. The town is in the west-central part of Chippewa County, and it surrounds the city of Bloomer, a separate municipality.

The six mile square that would become most of Woodmohr was first surveyed in the summer of 1847 by a crew working for the U.S. government. In September 1849, another crew marked all the section corners of the six mile squares, walking through the woods and wading the swamps, measuring with chain and compass. When done, the deputy surveyor filed this general description:
The East side of this Township including Sections 1, 12, 13, 24, 25 & 36; and parts of Sections 3, 11, 14, 23, 26 & 35 are well Timbered and have a productive sand & loam soil.

Pine Openings having a more sandy soil than(?) the more thickly timbered portions.
