Notes:

Various sources list the first map published as 1914, 1915, and 1917. The earliest map in the Wisconsin DOT collection is the 1917 edition. The 1918 map is in a booklet with stats and info on Wisconsin. The Map is folded and pasted onto the back cover.

 

In addition to the maps listed for 1924 and 1926, a note on these maps indicates that three other variations were printed: a "pocket highway map," a "cloth mounted highway wall map," and a "highway service map, issued weekly from May to October."

 

The 1982 map is completely undated. The 1983-84 map has a picture of a sailboat on the back side, with "WS 3848" printed on the sail. According to the Wisconsin DOT, this is a code for the date, 1983-84, although this same code appears on the 1985-86 map, which is dated in the legend.
