About this map

Milledgeville serves as the primary municipal center in this Illinois landscape, situated just north of the Carroll Co Whiteside Co line. The town's grid is clearly defined by local thoroughfares such as Stover Ave and Main Ave, while the village of Coleta lies to the south, marking a secondary pocket of settlement amidst a vast agricultural network. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system, where Otter Creek and Rock Creek wind through the western and central sections, eventually joined by Elkhorn Creek in the east.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships. Sites such as Dutchtown Brethern Cem, Bethel Cem, and the uniquely named Cemeter Genesee Cem suggest a history of decentralized rural communities and early church congregations. The road network, including Dutchtown Rd and Coleta Rd, links these historic landmarks, illustrating how transport patterns evolved around established homesteads and local watercourses like Little Spring Creek.
