2022 Map of Milton

About this map

The borderlands of Davis and Van Buren counties in southern Iowa are defined by a rhythmic landscape of agricultural plateaus and timbered creek bottoms. The town of Milton serves as the primary hub in the south-central portion of the map, centered around a traditional grid of streets like N Main St and E Harrison St. To the north, the small community of Troy sits near the headwaters of Hickory Cr. The drainage patterns of the Fox River and Little Fox River create deep, branching valleys that contrast with the straight gravel roads of the section-line grid. This area preserves a significant record of local heritage through its numerous small burial grounds, including the Amish Mennonite Church Cem and several family or pioneer locations like Pansy Hill Cem and Richardson Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted rural settlement patterns of the region.
