About this map

Dumont and Bristow anchor this rural landscape in Butler County, where a grid of section-line roads like Grand Ave and Hickory Ave reveals a tightly organized agricultural pattern. The West Fork Cedar River winds through the southern edge, joined by several tributaries including Boylan Creek and Parmentar Creek which define the local drainage.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of local burial grounds. Five distinct cemeteries, including Needham Cemetery, Oak Hill Cemetery, and Dumont Cemetery, are clearly marked across the townships. The placement of the Bristow Post Office and Dumont Post Office shows the continued importance of these small-town centers as hubs for the surrounding farming community.
