1985 Map of Milledgeville

About this map

Milledgeville serves as the primary hub in this agricultural landscape near the border of Carroll Co and Whiteside Co. The mid-1980s topography reveals a region defined by its watercourses and small-town infrastructure, with Coleta sitting further south. The land is drained by a network of winding streams including Rock Creek, Otter Creek, and Elkhorn Creek, which carve gentle valleys through the prairie. Industrial activity is visible at a local Quarry and a municipal Sewage Disp Plant, while community spaces are represented by a local Park and a Picnic Area along Little Rock Creek. A rural Cem and scattered farmsteads across the townships of Wysox and Genesee provide specific points of interest for those researching family history or historical land use in this part of northern Illinois.
