2010 Map of Stout

About this map

Stout stands as the primary hub in this agricultural landscape of Butler County, Iowa, centered around its local infrastructure including the Stout Post Office. The township layout is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads like Sinclair Ave and Quave, which negotiate the meandering course of Beaver Creek and Max Creek. Local heritage is heavily concentrated in the area's rural burial grounds and spiritual centers, such as the Reformed Church of Stout Cemetery, Codner Cemetery, and Fairfield Township Cemetery. These sites, along with small settlements like Sinclair and Swanton, suggest a community built on long-standing family farmsteads and localized commerce. Public land use is evident at Moore's Access along the creek, while the elevation at Taylor Hill provides a rare point of relief in the otherwise steady terrain of the Iowa prairie.
