1899 Map of Wausau

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Wisconsin River corridor defines the industrial and transportation backbone of Marathon and Lincoln Counties at the close of the 19th century. From Merrill in the north to Mosinee in the south, the river supports a dense network of timber and manufacturing interests, including specialized settlements like Granite Heights and the industrial hub of Wausau. The importance of the logging era is explicitly documented by the presence of the Bull Dessert Logging R R and various junction points like Dessert Junction and Flanner.
