2018 Map of Coster

About this map

Coster and New Albion anchor this Butler County landscape, appearing here in the early 21st century as small agricultural clusters defined by their proximity to the meandering West Fork Cedar River. The river's broad floodplain dominates the southern portion of the sheet, while to the north, a network of tributaries including Landphere Cr, McClure Creek, and Moulfon Cr carve out the rolling Iowa farmland. Of particular interest to local historians is the Butler County Poor Farm Cem in the northwest, a poignant reminder of the county's social history. Other family or community markers include the New Albion Cem and Coster Cem. The region's geography is further shaped by a local Quarry and a strict grid of county roads such as Co Rd T55 and Butler Center Rd, which facilitate the transit of the area's agricultural output.
