About this map

Dumont and Kesley anchor this portion of Butler County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by the winding path of the West Fork Cedar River and its numerous tributaries. The river corridor features Lake Considine and unique terrain markers like Ft Sumter Rock, while the surrounding prairie is partitioned by a grid of rural roads such as Co Rd T16 and Co Rd T25.

Genealogists and local historians will find several established burial grounds across the townships, including Madison Cem south of Dumont, Hitesville Cem to the east, and Bethel Reform Cem near the southern boundary. The hydrology of the region is intricately detailed, showing the drainage patterns of Hartgrave Creek, Maynes Creek, and Johnson Cr as they feed into the larger river system, reflecting the persistent rural character of north-central Iowa in the early 21st century.
