About this map

The Wisconsin River corridor defines this mid-century landscape, where industrial and suburban growth converge near the confluence of the Eau Claire River. The 1978 update, shown in purple, highlights the rapid expansion of Wausau, Schofield, and Rothschild as new residential developments and institutional buildings filled the gaps between historic rail lines. A dense concentration of civic life is visible in the downtown grid, anchored by the Courthouse and several parochial institutions like St Marys Sch and St Michaels Sch.

Beyond the urban core, the map reveals the varied character of the Weston and Wausau townships, ranging from the recreational Country Club and Camp Phillips to the active transport hub at Wausau Junction. Genealogists will find high value in the clearly marked Pine Grove Cemetery, Hebrew Cem, and the more rural St Agnes Ch & Cem near Callon. The Eau Claire Flowage and numerous gravel pits indicate the area's ongoing transformation of natural resources for regional development.
