2015 Map of Wausau

About this map

Wausau and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Washington County are documented in this 2015 study, which highlights a network of small settlements and local industry. The map captures the geographic distribution of community life at Bells Mill and Bradford, while also identifying Orange Hill and its namesake Orange Hill Airport. The terrain is defined by a dense system of waterways, including the winding Holmes Cr on the western edge and several branches of Hard Labor Cr that drain the central and southern sections. Cultural landmarks such as Everett Cem and the distinctive Falling Water Hill provide points of reference for local historians. This survey effectively illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where family-named roads like Douglas Ferry Rd and Peel Rd connect scattered residences and ponds such as Owens Lake and Corbin Pond.
