2018 Map of Lamont

About this map

Lamont and Aurora anchor the landscape of northeastern Buchanan County in this late-period survey. The region is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the S Fork Maquoketa River and several branches of Buffalo Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of well-distributed burial grounds such as Madison Cem, Byron Cem, Payne Cem, and Fremont Cem provides vital points of reference for family research. The infrastructure is characterized by a precise grid of county roads and distinctive paths like the Level B Low Maintance Rd, reflecting the rural character and land-use patterns of the early twenty-first century. These features, along with smaller tributaries like Prairie Cr and Lamont Cr, showcase the drainage and settlement layout that has shaped this part of Iowa.
