2015 Map of Dumont North

About this map

The West Fork Cedar River carves through the southern landscape of this Butler County region, defining the drainage patterns for a network of prairie tributaries like Boylan Cr and Parmentar Cr. The agricultural grid of Butler County is punctuated by the established settlements of Bristow, Aredale, and the northern edge of Dumont. These communities serve as the anchors for a rural landscape where local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Old Bristow Cem and South Bristow Cem near the town center, and the more isolated Needham Cem and Oak Hill Cem. The road network, from Main St in Bristow to the various county roads like Co Rd C33, illustrates the connectivity between these small farming hubs and their surrounding fields in the early twenty-first century.
