State Trunk Highway 183 (often called Highway 183, STH-183 or WIS 183) was a
state highway in the U.S. state of
Wisconsin. It ran north–south between
WIS 35 near
Pepin and
WIS 29 near
Spring Valley. The now-decommissioned highway was turned over to local control, and is now designated as County Trunk Highway CC (CTH-CC) in
Pepin and
Pierce counties.
Route description
Sites along the route, from south to north, include the
Little House Wayside and the
unincorporated communities of
Lund (on the border between Pepin and Pierce counties, at the highway's junctions with CTH-J and CTH-SS),
Ono (at the junction with
US Highway 10, US 10),
Waverly (at the junction with
WIS 72), and
Olivet (on the boundary between the Pierce County
towns of
Gilman and
Spring Lake). The terminus at WIS 29 is very close to the entry to
Crystal Cave, about 1-mile (1.6 km) southwest along Burkart Creek (a tributary of the
Eau Galle River), from Spring Valley.
History
Highway 183 was first designated in 1947 from Spring Valley to US Highway 10.[2] It was extended south to Pepin in 1949.[3] The highway was given to local control around 1989.
