About this map

Lake Mills serves as the primary population center in this northern Winnebago County landscape, where the grid of rural roads meets the meandering course of Lime Creek. The town is well-established with a dense street plan including W Main St and Milton Ave S, supported by the Lake Mills Municipal Airport to the southeast. The surrounding prairie is defined by a sophisticated water management system, evidenced by Drainage Ditch Number 108 and Drainage Ditch Number 92, which channel water toward the expansive Rice Lake.

For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites that trace the settlement history of the region. From the Sunnyside Cem and Salem Cem near the town center to the outlying Center Synod Cem and Immanuel Cem near Scarville, these landmarks provide specific points of interest for family history research. The presence of multiple synod-related sites reflects the denominational heritage of the communities situated along the Iowa-Minnesota border.
