Wausau: US 12/18 at West Broadway Lower
Madison has served as Wisconsin’s state capital since 1848. Set on an isthmus between Lakes Mendota and Monona, the city is shaped by water, public parks and broad avenues leading toward the Wisconsin State Capitol. The Capitol’s dome, completed in 1917, anchors downtown, while the University of Wisconsin–Madison lends the city much of its academic and civic character. This southeastern stretch forms part of the US 12/18 corridor, which carries traffic around Madison’s built-up area. The Yahara River links the local lakes, creating a compact setting where dense neighborhoods, transport routes and shorelines meet.

Rib Mountain rises immediately west of the city and is home to Rib Mountain State Park and Granite Peak, a major Midwest ski destination. Wausau’s downtown combines early 20th-century commercial buildings with venues including the Grand Theater, while the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum is widely known for its annual Birds in Art exhibition. Trails, riverfront parks and nearby forests reinforce the city’s close connection to the Northwoods landscape. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across central Wisconsin.

Built around Great Lakes shipping, timber, and dairy farming, Wisconsin grew into a Midwestern state with a distinctive industrial and rural identity. Lake Michigan forms its eastern edge, while the Mississippi River marks much of the west; between them lie forests, farms, and thousands of inland lakes. Milwaukee, on Lake Michigan, developed as a major brewing centre, and the state’s dairy tradition remains central to its food culture. In the southwest, the Driftless Area escaped the flattening effects of the last continental glaciation, creating deeply cut river valleys and steep ridges.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
