1973 Map of Antigo

About this map

The city of Antigo serves as the focal point of this Northwoods Wisconsin landscape, where the Chicago and North Western rail line bisects the urban grid. The map records a transition from the dense street plan of the city, complete with its Courthouse, to the surrounding agricultural townships of Peck, Neva, and Ackley. Water systems dominate the rural areas, particularly the West Branch Eau Claire River and East Branch Eau Claire River, which converge south of the city. Notable cultural landmarks include several parochial institutions like St Hyacinths Sch and public spaces such as the Fairground. To the north, smaller hubs like Deerbrook and Neva Corners anchor a patchwork of woodlots and farms, while the southern edge of the city features the developing campus of the North Central Technical Institute.
