Monona-Map-Annexations2
Many area residents — lifelong east-siders! and even Mononans! — are sometimes confused about where Madison ends and Monona begins. Many labor under the delusion that certain businesses, buildings and parks are in Monona when they’re not, and vice versa. So woe betide you if you are a newcomer to our shores; recent and even not-so-recent arrivals are apt to have even vaguer conceptions of what’s in Monona and what’s not. Remember: Just because something’s east of the namesake lake doesn’t necessarily mean it’s in Monona.
