About this map

The Black River carves a winding path through this central Wisconsin landscape, anchoring the city of Neillsville as it appeared in the late 1970s. The town's grid is concentrated near the confluence of O'Neill Creek and the river, showing a developed urban core with its Courthouse and several local institutions. Beyond the residential streets, the land reflects a mix of civic and industrial activity, from the Fairground and Golf Course to the Neillsville Municipal Airport on the eastern edge.

Transport and topography define the surrounding townships of Pine Valley, Weston, and York. The Chicago and North Western rail line cuts across the terrain, serving an area dotted with numerous resource extraction sites like the Quarries and Gravel Pit locations. Cultural landmarks such as St John Sch and St Marys Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this part of Clark County, while the Neillsville Mounds offer a look at the distinct physical features of the river valley.
