2018 Map of Milford

About this map

The village of Milford serves as the primary hub on this Iroquois County landscape, where the local street grid including E Hickory St and E Lyle St meets the agricultural hinterland. The map documents a rural environment shaped by the winding course of Sugar Creek, which meanders from the northwest toward the southeast, accompanied by tributaries like Coon Cr. Notable for genealogists are the numerous burial sites scattered across the townships, including Maple Grove Cem near the southern edge and the isolated Vennum Cem located further north. Transportation and logistics are central to the area's layout, highlighted by the rail-associated site at Woodland Junction and the small settlement of Coaler. The intersection of drainage features like Possum Trot Ditch with the section-line road network illustrates the 21st-century management of this fertile Illinois prairie land.
