2010 Map of Montello

About this map

Montello is defined by its relationship with water and stone, situated at the confluence of the Montello River and the Fox River. The city is bifurcated by the expansive Buffalo Lake and Lake Montello, which are regulated by the Montello Dam and the Montello Granite Dam. The presence of the Montello Granite Quarry at the heart of the settlement points to the area's geological industrial heritage, while the surrounding landscape is dotted with numerous kettle lakes such as Kilby Lake, Echo Lake, and Moon Lake. This 2010 survey also highlights several private aviation sites, including the Snow Crest Ranch Airport and the Sky Lodge Landing Strip, scattered across the agricultural and woodland tracts. Researchers will find local genealogy well-represented at Saint John the Baptist Cemetery and Eastside Cemetery, both located along the corridors leading out of the central town site.
