About this map

The Mississippi River carves a diagonal path through this 2019 survey, serving as the natural boundary between Sherburne and Wright counties. On the southern bank, the city of Monticello anchors the landscape, characterized by a dense network of residential streets and community landmarks such as Hillside Cem and Saint Henrys Cem. North of the river, the settlement of Becker and the community surrounding Big Lake demonstrate the region's late-20th and early-21st-century suburban and recreational growth.

Water defines the topography beyond the main river channel, notably within the Bertram Chain of Lakes and smaller bodies like Bucks Lake and Wood Lake. The transition from the river valley to the surrounding lake-dotted plains is marked by significant local drainage features like Otter Cr. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several established burial grounds, including Riverside Cem and Helm Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogical study.
