Monticello Crossroads Scenic Byway

Pine forests and rolling pastures dominate the views along the Monticello Crossroads Scenic Byway as it runs though Jasper County. This 29-mile byway emphasizes the rural and historic qualities of the area as it follows State Highways 11 and 83 heading north from the City of Monticello. Native Americans as well as evangelist Methodist Circuit Riders once used these routes as they crossed the state. Several individual structures, as well as a district encompassing most of the Monticello City limits, have been listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
