About this map

The West Fork Cedar River and its numerous tributaries, including Hartgrave Creek and Boylan Creek, define the agricultural landscape of Butler County in this 2010 survey. The township is anchored by the community of Dumont in the north and the village of Kesley further south, which features the Kesley Post Office. Small family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds like Madison Cemetery and Hitesville Cemetery provide valuable geographic markers for genealogists and local historians.

Evidence of the area's geological and social history is found in features like Fort Sumter Rock and Lake Considine. The map details a dense grid of county roads, such as Grand Ave and Douglas Ave, which connect isolated farmsteads and the smaller settlement of Butler. This document preserves the modern distribution of these rural communities and the intricate drainage patterns of the Cedar River watershed.
