2015 Map of Lamont

About this map

The town of Lamont serves as the primary hub in this eastern Iowa landscape, situated at the junction of Co Rd C64 and Washburn Ave. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the S Fork Maquoketa River and Lamont Cr, which flow through the agricultural fields of Buchanan County. This 2015 survey reveals a pattern of rural preservation, marked by several small family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships. Genealogists will find the locations of Madison Cem, Byron Cem, Payne Cem, and Fremont Cem particularly valuable for tracing local lineages. The grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as Level B Low Maintance Rd, reflects the enduring agrarian structure of the region, while the headwaters of E Br Buffalo Cr and Prairie Cr provide a glimpse into the natural drainage system of the Iowa prairie.
