This airport's rotating beacon is located 1.4 nm NE of the airport; well outside the airport boundary. Though very non-standard; it is not mentioned in the Flight Information Publication (FLIP) or depicted on the IPP plates. Even the Green Bay sectional could show the correct position; instead of the standard symbology which implies the beacon would be found on the airport.Only the Jeppesen instrument charts depict it accurately.This secret non-standard placement could result in disorientation and worse; at least give pilots a chance by publishing it.
Pilot reported the rotating beacon located 1.4 NM NE of IMT airport is at a non-standard location and could potentially result in pilot disorientation.  Pilot also stated the beacon location is not mentioned in the Flight Information Publication; nor depicted in the IPP plates.
