1953 Map of Wausau

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Wisconsin River corridor dominates this mid-century survey, anchoring the industrial and civic development of Wausau, Schofield, and Rothschild. The river widens into Lake Wausau, a central feature that separates the urban centers from the towering topography of Rib Mountain and the adjacent Rib Mountain State Park. The region's infrastructure is well-established by the early 1950s, with the Chicago and North Western and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads facilitating commerce alongside the Alexander Municipal Airport.
