2010 Map of Milaca

About this map

Rum River and its numerous tributaries dominate this central Minnesota landscape, where the city of Milaca serves as the primary regional hub. The river winds southward through a grid of rural sections, joined by Tibbetts Brook, Whitney Brook, and the West Branch Rum River. This network of waterways historically influenced the settlement patterns and agriculture of Township 132, which is clearly delineated by a precise network of numbered avenues and streets. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several burial grounds, including Chase Brook Cemetery located north of town, and both Forest Hill Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery situated near the southern residential core. The presence of the Milaca Municipal Airport on the eastern edge of the community highlights the modern infrastructure supporting this rural community.
