About this map

Butler Center sits as a primary point of interest in this section of central Butler County, positioned just south of Allison. The landscape is defined by the broad, meandering course of the West Fork Cedar River, which creates a wide riparian corridor across the center of the sheet. This area illustrates the classic Iowa township-and-range grid, where a network of gravel and paved roads like Jay Ave and Liberty Ave intersect the prairie landscape at regular intervals.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several established burial grounds, including the Butler Center Cem and Allison Cem. Further south, the Monroe Township Cem serves as a landmark near the banks of Johnson Cr. The drainage patterns of small tributaries such as Kilson Cr and McClure Cr provide a natural contrast to the geometric precision of the surrounding section lines and agricultural fields.
