2015 Map of Miller

About this map

Forest City sits at the northwestern edge of this Hancock County landscape, where the Winnebago River meanders eastward toward the Ellington Cem. The map reveals a deeply rural section of Northern Iowa defined by a rigid grid of gravel roads and significant water management features, such as Drainage Ditch Number 13, which helps drain the fertile prairie soil for agriculture. The small settlement of Miller serves as a local landmark in the western half of the quadrangle. Several religious and family heritage sites are scattered across the township lines, including Pilot Knob Lutheran Cem in the north and Saint Johns Cem near the southern border. To the southwest, the headwaters of the East Br Iowa River emerge, illustrating the area's position as a subtle continental drainage divide. Deadmans Lake provides a natural break in the rolling glacial topography near the northern boundary.
