2022 Map of Wausau West

About this map

The Wisconsin River serves as the eastern corridor of this modern survey, anchoring the industrial and civic development of Wausau, Schofield, and Rothschild. To the west, the landscape is defined by the significant rise of Rib Mtn and Mosinee Hill, which overlook the confluence of the Big Rib River and the Little Rib River. This area balances urban density with expansive natural features, from the academic campuses of Northcentral Technical College and the University of Wisconsin-Marathon County to the wetlands of Ninemile Swamp. The river's path is marked by islands and human-made reservoirs like Lake Wausau, while the Wausau Downtown Airport occupies a prominent position at Asylum Point. This map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure connecting these communities, including the residential sprawl of Maine and the recreational waters of Sunny Vale Lake.
