About this map

The settlement of Monico sits at the junction of two major transit corridors, Us-8 and Us-45, serving as a central hub in this northern Wisconsin landscape. To the south, the northern shoreline of Pelican Lake reveals a complex series of residential and recreational points including Chicago Point, Mekanac Point, and Norway Point. These features, along with Crescent Island, highlight the area's significance as a destination for lakeside activity and seasonal residence.

A cluster of small water bodies near the town center—Mars Lake, Venus Lake, and Neptune Lake—provides a distinct astronomical naming pattern to the local geography. Elevated monitoring of the surrounding timber and wetlands is represented by the Beck Lookout Tower, located south of the main village. The hydrology is further defined by the Pelican River and its tributaries, such as Monico Cr and Neptune Cr, which drain the low-lying terrain between the lakes.
