Map

This colored road map shows automobile roads in Wisconsin as well as portions of nearby states. Information on the quality and type of any given road (paved, dirt, scheduled for construction, etc.) is included in the legend. The boundary between the Eastern and Central Time Zones is shown, as are boat lanes (for ferries as well as other vessels) in Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Along the bottom edge of the front page, an index of towns and cities in Wisconsin and their populations is featured. On the back side of the map, there are road maps for Chicago, La Crosse, Fon Du Lac, Duluth, Madison, Racine, Milwaukee, Kenosha, and Green Bay.
