2022 Map of Little Chicago

About this map

Little Chicago sits at the junction of Lonsdale Blvd and Hazelwood Ave, marking a central point in this transition between open agricultural fields and the lake-studded landscape of southern Minnesota. The area is defined by a series of prominent water bodies, including the expansive Union Lake, Circle Lake, and Fox Lake, which are interconnected by a network of small waterways like Wolf Cr and Knowles Cr. These lakes are surrounded by a grid of rural roads such as Bagley Ave and Co Hwy 34, reflecting the long-established section-line surveying of Rice and Dakota Counties. Small settlements like Millersburg and Comus dot the landscape, providing local context for genealogists tracing family histories in these rural townships. The presence of Rolling Green Cem and Berg Cem offers specific locations for historical research, situated near the winding course of Heath Cr.
