2018 Map of Miller

About this map

The Winnebago River meanders across the northern portion of this Hancock County landscape, providing a natural contrast to the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. While Forest City occupies the northwest corner, the smaller settlement of Miller sits further south, marking a shift toward the headwaters of the E Br Iowa River. The region’s agricultural foundations are underscored by features like Drainage Ditch Number 13, while its cultural history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Pilot Knob Lutheran Cem and Saint Johns Cem. This survey captures the area just before the modern decade, showing a terrain shaped by both its glacial heritage, seen at Deadmans Lake, and its infrastructure, from the Forest City Municipal Airport to the network of county roads like Co Rd R70.
