About this map

The West Fork Cedar River carves a winding path through this agricultural landscape in Butler County, where small settlements like Coster and New Albion anchor the local road network. The map reveals significant local history through its burial sites, most notably the Butler County Poor Farm Cemetery in the north and the Coster Cemetery near the center of the sheet. These sites, along with the New Albion Cemetery, provide critical touchpoints for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Iowa.

Waterways like Moulton Creek, McClure Creek, and Landphere Creek drain into the river basin, shaping the terrain around a grid of rural avenues and streets. Public land is represented by the West Fork Forest Access, preserving a natural corridor along the river. The layout of Butler Center Rd and various numbered streets illustrates the enduring structure of the region's farming economy and rural community life.
