2013 Map of Dumont North

About this map

Agricultural production and the drainage patterns of the Cedar River basin define this portion of Butler County. The landscape is structured by a precise grid of rural routes including Clay Ave and Grand Ave, which serve the large-scale farming operations that anchor the local economy. Specific named agricultural sites such as Reser Farms, Poelma Dairy, and Umble Hog Farm illustrate the region's specialization in dairy and livestock at the start of the 21st century. The settlement of Bristow occupies a central position near the intersection of Main St and Church St, while the northern edge of Dumont appears in the southwest corner along the W Fork Cedar River. Watercourses like Parmentar Cr and Boylan Cr meander through the fields, following the natural contours of the land in contrast to the rigid geometry of the surrounding road network.
