About this map

Wausau and its eastern suburbs are defined by the winding course of the Wisconsin River and its major tributaries in this 2010 survey. The industrial and transit history of the region is evident at Wausau Junction and the Brooks and Ross Dam, which regulates the Eau Claire Flowage as it joins the main river channel. Residential expansion is visible across Franklin Hill and East Hill, while the southern reaches of the map show the established communities of Schofield, Weston, and Rothschild.

Genealogists will find significant value in the clustered burial grounds on the western edge, including the Hebrew Cemetery, Saint Josephs Cemetery, and Saint Michaels Cemetery. The landscape transitions from the dense urban grid of the city center to more open spaces like Camp Phillips and Camp Dell-O-Claire, bordered by smaller waterways such as Big Sandy Creek and Stony Creek that drain the eastern heights toward the valley floor.
