1963 Map of Wausau West

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Rib Mountain and its surrounding parklands dominate the central landscape of this early 1960s survey, illustrating the geographical barrier that shaped the development of Wausau. While the eastern edge of the map shows a densely gridded urban center featuring the University of Wisconsin (Extension) and Newman High Sch, the western half remains largely rural with township boundaries like Stettin and Marathon. The confluence of the Rib River and the Wisconsin River creates complex water features such as Lake Wausau, which are bordered by industrial and institutional landmarks including the Municipal Airport and the County Hospital. A distinctive pattern of granite extraction is evident through several Quarries located near the southern slopes of the mountain, while the southwestern corner transitions into the low-lying Ninemile Swamp.
