Elm Street runs north-south through central Woodland, from Beamer Street to Casa Linda Drive. Situated east of Walnut Street and west of College Street, it is offset to the northeast/southwest at Elliot Street and again at Oak Avenue, by one lot width each time. It almost connects with Freeman Street across Beamer Street, although they are offset from one another to the northwest/southeast by one lot width.
In order from north to south, Elm Street intersects the following streets:
- Hangman Alley (east only; this alley is not officially named)
- Grafton Street (west only)
- Clover Street
- Elliot Street (Elm Street jogs one lot width to the southwest at Elliot Street)
- North Street

Along the way, it passes by the State Theatre & Multiplex, Dingle Elementary School, Hyman Field, and Grace Hiddleston Park.
Only three of Woodland's many alleys have official names, but Elm Street intersects two of those: Dead Cat Alley and Dog Gone Alley.
