2016 Map of Little Chicago

About this map

Little Chicago and Millersburg anchor this landscape along the border of Rice and Dakota counties, where a glacial topography of lakes and winding creeks dictates the local road network. The settlement of Little Chicago sits near the headwaters of Knowles Cr, while to the south, Millersburg is positioned between the northern shores of Circle Lake and the wetlands of Wolf Cr. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, defined by long-established family farmstead roads like Hazelwood Ave and Bagley Ave. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific community landmarks such as Rolling Green Cem near the eastern hills and Forest Cem tucked south of the glacial depression of Heath Cr. The map also captures the southeastern settlement of Comus and the significant water bodies of Union Lake and Fox Lake, which remain central to the area's geography.
