About this map

The Wisconsin River and its various tributaries define the landscape of this portion of Marathon County, where the industrial and residential growth of Wausau meets the water. The confluence of the Eau Claire River and the main channel creates the broad Eau Claire Flowage and Lake Wausau, which separate the primary city center from the southern communities of Schofield and Weston. This geography shaped the early development of Wausau Junction and its connection to the rail corridor along Northwestern Ave.

Several historic burial grounds, including Pine Grove Cem, Saint Michaels Cem, and the Wausau Hebrew Cem, are clustered near the riverbank, providing a localized record of the area's ancestral residents. To the east, the terrain becomes increasingly rural toward Kelly and Callon, where small creeks like Jim Moore Cr and Big Sandy Creek meander through the landscape. The Wausau Downtown Airport sits prominently near the bend of the river, highlighting the region's mid-century transportation infrastructure.
