2015 Map of Milltown

About this map

The village of Milltown serves as the primary hub in this portion of Polk County, where residential streets give way to a landscape defined by an extensive network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The community of West Denmark is situated further north, tucked near the shores of Little Butternut Lake. This area is characterized by a high density of small water bodies, ranging from the prominent Long Trade Lake and Bullhead Lake in the northwest to Camp Douglas Lake in the southeast. Numerous rural cemeteries, including Evergreen Cem, New Home Cem, Haustrup Cem, and Granum Cem, are scattered throughout the townships, providing significant touchpoints for genealogical research and local heritage. The Trade River and Butternut Cr meander through the terrain, connecting several of the larger lakes and influencing the local drainage patterns that have shaped the region's agricultural and recreational development.
