1993 Map of Wausau West

About this map

Rib Mountain dominates the landscape south of the Big Rib River, providing a massive topographic anchor for the western expansion of Wausau. This early 1990s survey illustrates a community deeply integrated with its river system, where the Wisconsin River widens into Lake Wausau, creating a complex shoreline dotted with landmarks like Asylum Point and Barkers Island. The urban core is dense with civic and religious institutions, ranging from St Matthews Sch to the County Fairground, while the Wisconsin Central railroad tracks trace the industrial corridor along the eastern bank.
