2022 Map of Monticello

About this map

The Mississippi River carves a natural border through this central Minnesota landscape, dividing Sherburne Co and Wright Co. In the southern half, the city of Monticello serves as a primary hub, situated near the banks of the river and home to established landmarks like Saint Henry Catholic Cem and Hillside Cem. To the north, the growing settlements of Becker and Salida sit along the transit corridors, while the expansive waters of Big Lake and Lake Mitchell dominate the northeastern terrain. The area is defined by its dense collection of water bodies, including the Bertram Chain Of Lakes Tri, which provides a complex network of wetlands and shorelines. Genealogists can trace early local history through the presence of several burial grounds, including the Helm Pioneer Cem and Riverside Cem, located along the winding path of the Elk River.
