About this map

Wausau and the surrounding township of Rib Mountain anchor this modern survey of central Wisconsin, where the confluence of the Big Rib River and the Wisconsin River shaped the local geography and industry. The map captures the city's infrastructure at a time of significant development, showing the University of Wisconsin - Marathon Center and several critical water management structures like the Wausau Dam 3092 and the Rothschild 1903C155 Dam. To the west, the landscape rises toward the prominent landmark of Rib Mountain, a site defined by both its natural elevation and the Rib Mountain Ski Area.

The industrial and residential transition is evident along the river corridors, where Barkers Island and Asylum Point sit near the Wausau Municipal Airport. This record of Marathon County's topography highlights how the region has balanced its natural assets, such as the Eau Claire Flowage and Sunny Vale Lake, with the expanding suburban footprints of Mount View and the neighborhoods south toward Mosinee Hill.
