2013 Map of Wausau West

About this map

Rib Mountain and its namesake Ski Area dominate the landscape west of the Wisconsin River in this 2013 survey. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of Mosinee Hill and the ski slopes down to the intricate river bends and sloughs of the Big Rib River. This area reflects a balance of recreation and infrastructure, with the Wausau Downtown Airport situated near the water's edge at Asylum Point. Residential growth is evident in settlements like Mount View and Lazy Acre, while the hydrological network is anchored by Lake Wausau. The map captures the significant transportation corridor of the US-51 bypass as it carves through the heart of Marathon County, connecting the developed eastern bank near Barkers Island to the higher ground of the west.
