Eastern terminus

The highway number was already designated in 1922. [1] In 1922, the highway's eastern terminus was listed at WIS 31 near Lamartine, Wisconsin. [1] It ran east–west and had a major intersection with WIS 26 in Ladoga. [1] It joined with WIS 49 near Brandon and continued west passing through Fairwater. [1] Its western terminus was located at WIS 44 west of Markesan. [1] The highway ran for 27.1 miles (43.6 km) at that time. [1]

By 1970, the highway had been shorted to 10.7 miles. The highway's eastern terminus was located at the same place at what was then numbered U.S. Highway 151. [2] The highway's western terminus had been changed to WIS 49 just south of Brandon. [2]

The highway had been decommissioned by 1994 and Fond du Lac county took over control signing the remainder as County TC. [3]

Major intersections

The entire route was in Fond du Lac County.

US Highway 141 (US 141) is a north–south United States Numbered Highway in the states of Wisconsin and Michigan. The highway runs north-northwesterly from an interchange with Interstate 43 (I-43) in Bellevue, Wisconsin, near Green Bay, to a junction with US 41/M-28 near Covington, Michigan. In between, it follows city streets in Green Bay and has a concurrent section with US 41 in Wisconsin. North of Green Bay, US 141 is either a freeway or an expressway into rural northern Wisconsin before downgrading to an undivided highway. In Michigan, US 141 is an undivided highway that runs through rural woodlands. The highway has two segments in each state; after running through Wisconsin for about 103 miles (166 km), it crosses into Michigan for approximately another eight miles (13 km). After that, it crosses back into Wisconsin for about 14+12 miles (23 km) before crossing the state line one last time. The northernmost Michigan section is about 43+12 miles (70 km), making the overall length about 169 miles (272 km).
