2012 Map of Milan West

About this map

Milan stands at the eastern edge of this Sullivan County landscape, a region defined by the meandering courses of Locust Creek and West Locust Creek. In the early 21st century, this area remains a mix of agricultural land and managed conservation, notably within the Locust Creek Wildlife Area. The map reveals a high concentration of small, family-named burial grounds including Lovell Cemetery, Wilhite Cemetery, and Glaze Cemetery, which provide vital touchpoints for local genealogists. Water management is a prominent theme, with several dams and reservoirs such as the New Milan Reservoir, Shatto Lake, and Detwiller Lake punctuating the drainage basins. Transportation is centered on the small settlement of Reger and the Cowgill-Roemer Airport, while a network of rural roads like Outlook Rd and Prairie Rd connect the scattered farmsteads and rural properties characteristic of northern Missouri.
