About this map

Monico serves as the central hub of this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the local road network converges near the Monico Cem. The terrain is defined by an intricate glacial geography of kettle lakes and meandering waterways, including the celestial-named Neptune Lake, Mars Lake, and Venus Lake. To the south, the massive expanse of Pelican Lake dominates the horizon, its shoreline deeply recessed into numerous bays like Mud Bay and Musky Bay.

Landmarks such as Norway Point and Crescent Island indicate a shoreline shaped by both natural contours and recreational importance. The presence of Schoepke Cem near the southern settlement of Pelican Lake provides a touchstone for genealogical research in the area. This 2022 survey illustrates a region where the natural hydrography of the Pelican River and Haymeadow Cr continues to dictate the patterns of human transit and habitation.
