Where is monument city located?


Where did the SDF-1 crash land. I think it's it's either near Victoria Canada or north of Washington State. That is long distance between the Amazon and Canada/USA.

I've always kinda thought Macross City was near the Great Lakes given SX-Point 83/Reflex Point is in that location in The New Generation, Monument City is probably a 3-5 hour car drive but the closest large city.

Monument City was located near New Macross City. New Macross City was built around the grounded SDF-1. Presumably this was near the site of the Grand Cannon in Alaska, where the SDF-1 landed after it was damaged fighting Dolza's fleet. In The Masters, there are three mounds near Monument City that contain the radioactive wreckage of the SDF-1, which was destroyed when Khyron's ship attacked New Macross City. Supposedly this is the same site as Reflex Point, but in The New Generation a map shows that Reflex Point is located in the Great Lakes region. This continuity error is due to the fact that Robotech was cobbled together from three different anime series that had unrelated stories.
