2018 Map of Milledgeville

About this map

Milledgeville and the nearby village of Coleta anchor this survey of the borderlands between Carroll and Whiteside Counties. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Otter Cr and Rock Cr, which cut through the agricultural terrain of northwestern Illinois. A network of rural routes like Livingood Rd and Fairhaven Rd connects several scattered historic burial sites, providing a clear map of the area's pioneer heritage. Among these are the Dutchtown Brethern Cem, the Hazel Green Cem south of the county line, and the Colcord Cem near the banks of Blue Goose Rd. This contemporary topographic record preserves the precise layout of local township roads and the drainage patterns of Elkhorn Creek and its various tributaries as they appeared in the early 21st century.
