2010 Map of Monticello

About this map

The Mississippi River carves a diagonal path through this 2010 landscape, separating the developing suburban corridors of Monticello from the rural reaches of Sherburne and Wright counties. This era shows a significant expansion of transportation and aviation infrastructure, with three distinct private airstrips—Joyner Airport, Flynn Airport, and Pilots Cove Airport—clustered near the river’s southern bank. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several historic burial sites, including Saint Henrys Cemetery, Hillside Cemetery, and the riverside Riverside Cemetery. To the south, a chain of water bodies such as Bertram Lake, which features the Bertram Lake Dam, and Long Lake define the transition from town to open countryside. In the north, the small settlement of Salida sits near a dense network of lakes like Thompson Lake and Lake Mitchell, illustrating the region's enduring character as a destination for both residential growth and lakeside recreation.
