The county history of 1901 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 4 fires within 5 miles of Monticello (historical) between 2009 and 2020, burning about 6 acres in total. None started naturally. None was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Lakeside
• Millersport
• Summerland Beach
• East Millersport
• Fairfield Beach
• Shell Beach

Every fire recorded in Fairfield County

Museums hold 1,052 specimens collected within 10 miles of Monticello (historical) between 1843 and 1975: 932 Animalia, 77 Fungi, 43 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Gray; W. S. Sullivant, Albertin, Asa Gray; W. S. Sullivant and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
