About this map

The Marquette County seat of Montello is defined by its position at the confluence of the Montello River and the Fox River, where the geography is dominated by an intricate chain of lakes. This 1980s-era revision highlights a landscape transitioning from rural agricultural townships like Shields and Harris into a central hub of water-based recreation and infrastructure. Significant landmarks include the Snow Crest and Sky Lodge landing strips, alongside several gravel pits and sandpits that point to the local extractive industry.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find clarity in the locations of St John the Baptist Cem and Eastside Cem. The map tracks the expansion of local road networks such as Ember Avenue and Elk Avenue, while also noting essential municipal services like the Radio Tower and Sewage Disposal plant. The presence of numerous boat ramps on Buffalo Lake and Lake Montello emphasizes the community's enduring relationship with its waterways.
