2011 Map of Little Chicago

About this map

Millersburg and Little Chicago anchor this Rice County landscape, a region defined by a chain of glacial water bodies including Circle Lake, Union Lake, and Fox Lake. The map illustrates a rural interior transitioning into recreational and specialized land uses, most notably the Quist Seaplane Base on the western shore of Wolf Creek and Camp Muskoday situated near the banks of Union Lake. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Rolling Green Cemetery and Forest Cemetery, while the drainage of the land is meticulously traced through the winding paths of Wolf Creek and Heath Creek. This 2011 survey documents the persistent agricultural grid, where long-established roads like Millersburg Blvd connect isolated settlements to the larger regional network, reflecting the enduring geography of south-central Minnesota.
