2015 Map of Marathon

About this map

The Big Rib River anchors the landscape of central Wisconsin as it flows past the village of Marathon. This mid-2010s survey reveals a community organized around the river and its tributaries, such as Scotch Creek and Artus Cr. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by the established sites of Saint Marys Cem and Saint Matthews Cem, located on the southern edge of the village. The layout of the region shows a mix of rural development and agricultural grid lines, with named roads like Whippoorwill Rd and Scotch Creek Rd providing access to the wooded banks and creek beds. Further south, the terrain is shaped by the paths of Kennedy Cr and Fourmile Cr, indicating the drainage patterns that have historically defined land use and property boundaries in this part of Marathon County.
