I can't find that one, but Milton (tiny as it is) is still shown on various
maps at 38 deg 00.311 min N, 78 deg 24.161 min W, about 2 miles almost
due  east of Monticello, on a hill overlooking the Rivanna River.  My
grandmother grew up there, and her father operated a mill there in the late
1800's.  There are still a few houses there, but no really recognizable center.

(There's also a Milton down in Tidewater, not far from Charles City).
