2018 Map of Milltown

About this map

The village of Milltown serves as the primary hub in this Polk County landscape, situated where the Ice Age National Scenic Trail winds through the glacial terrain. The area is defined by a dense network of water bodies, from the larger Long Trade Lake and Bullhead Lake in the north to Little Butternut Lake near West Denmark. These lakes and the wandering Trade River reflect the region's post-glacial topography, which historically supported both agriculture and early resort development. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem, Haustrup Cem, Granum Cem, and New Home Cem, which are scattered among the section lines and township roads. The map captures the interface between the established village center and the surrounding dairy country, documented just as the modern road network of numbered avenues and county roads was fully integrated with traditional scenic paths.
