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 road shown (paved, dirt, scheduled for construction, etc.) is included in the legend in the bottom left corner. The boundary between the Eastern and Central Time Zones is shown, as are some ferry lanes in Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Along the left and right edges of the front page, an index of counties, towns, and cities in Wisconsin and their populations is featured. On the back side of the map, a mileage table for cities and towns in and around Wisconsin is shown, with a second mileage table for major cities in the U.S. There is also an index of points of interest shown on the map with a description of each, a highway map of the Continental U.S., and an index of radio stations in the Midwest.
