2010 Map of Lamont

About this map

The town of Lamont and the village of Aurora anchor this Buchanan County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of named roads like Slater Ave and Union Ave. This region is heavily shaped by the drainage patterns of the South Fork Maquoketa River and the East Branch Buffalo Creek, creating a varied topography for the local farmsteads. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several rural burial grounds, including Madison Cemetery, Payne Cemetery, Byron Cemetery, and Fremont Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the townships. The map documents local civic hubs at the Lamont Post Office and Aurora Post Office, alongside the settlement at Buffalo Grove. This survey reflects the enduring rural character of northeast Iowa, showing the relationship between established community centers and the surrounding prairie waterways like Prairie Creek and Dry Creek.
