Wisconsin Highway 175
State Trunk Highway 175 (often called Highway 175, STH 175 or WIS 175) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs north–south in central Wisconsin from West Milwaukee to just south of Fond du Lac.
The highway follows the former route of U.S. Highway 41 before 41's current route was created between 1953 and 1955. Portions of the highway were part of the Yellowstone Trail. North Fond du Lac created a park dedicated to the trail, which was the first transcontinental automobile highway through the upper tier of states in the United States.
History
The highway was shorted by 17.1 miles (27.5 km) on January 1, 2007. The northern terminus was moved from U.S. Route 45 near Oshkosh to its present location near Fond du Lac. The portion in Winnebago County became County Highway R, and the portion in Fond du Lac County (including through the Van Dyne, North Fond du Lac, and Fond du Lac communities) became County Highway RP.
Numerous segments of the highway are marked for changing to local control, including segments in Washington County.

Iowa Highway 175
Iowa Highway 175 (Iowa 175) is a main east–west route in the northern portion of the state. The highway has a length of 221 miles (356 km). Iowa Highway 175 enters the state by a Missouri River crossing between Decatur, Nebraska and Onawa. The highway continues westward as Nebraska Highway 51. Iowa 175's eastern terminus is at a T intersection with U.S. Route 63 in southwestern Black Hawk County.
Despite Iowa 175's length, it only passes through small communities. The largest city on the route is Onawa, whose 2000 population was 3,091.
Route description
Iowa Highway 175 begins at the east end of the Burt County Missouri River Bridge west of Onawa. At Onawa, it intersects Interstate 29. At Turin, it meets Iowa Highway 37 and turns northeast to follow an alignment which lies next to the Maple River. It continues through Castana and meets Iowa Highway 141 in Mapleton. At Mapleton, Iowa 175 overlaps Iowa Highway 141 through town. This is a wrong-way concurrency, with eastbound Iowa 175 and westbound Iowa 141 routed on one side of the road, and vice versa. It continues northeast from Mapleton through Danbury and Battle Creek and meets U.S. Highway 59 west of Ida Grove. After passing through Ida Grove together with U.S. 59, they separate east of Ida Grove. Iowa 175 passes east through Arthur and at Odebolt, meets Iowa Highway 39. Further east, Iowa 175 meets U.S. Highway 71. Iowa 175 and U.S. 71 run east, then south, then east again concurrently through Lake View and Ulmer before separating at Auburn.
Minnesota State Highway 175
Minnesota State Highway 175 (MN 175) is a highway in northwest Minnesota, which runs from North Dakota Highway 5 at the North Dakota state line and continues east to its eastern terminus at its intersection with U.S. Highway 59 near Lake Bronson.
The route is 21 miles (34 km) in length and passes through the city of Hallock.
Route description

The route is also known as Broadway Street in Hallock.
The Middle Branch Two Rivers follows Highway 175 throughout its route.
The route is located in the Red River Valley region.
History
Highway 175 was authorized in 1963 between U.S. 75 at Hallock and the North Dakota state line. The Highway 175 / Highway 5 bridge crossing the Red River at the state line was not completed until the late 1960s.
The section of Highway 175 between U.S. 75 at Hallock and U.S. 59 in Hazelton Township was authorized in 1972.
Highway 175 was paved by the late 1960s between Hallock and the state line after completion of the Red River bridge crossing. The section of 175 between Hallock and Hazelton Township had been paved prior to it becoming a state highway.
Wisconsin
Wisconsin (
i/wɪsˈkɒ̃nsɪn/) is a U.S. state located in the north-central United States, in the Midwest and Great Lakes regions. It is bordered by Minnesota to the west, Iowa to the southwest, Illinois to the south, Lake Michigan to the east, Michigan to the northeast, and Lake Superior to the north. Wisconsin is the 23rd largest state by total area and the 20th most populous. The state capital is Madison, and its largest city is Milwaukee, which is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan. The state is divided into 72 counties.
Wisconsin's geography is diverse, with the Northern Highland and Western Upland along with a part of the Central Plain occupying the western part of the state and lowlands stretching to the shore of Lake Michigan. Wisconsin is second to Michigan in the length of its Great Lakes coastline.
Wisconsin is known as "America's Dairyland" because it is one of the nation's leading dairy producers, particularly famous for cheese. Manufacturing, especially paper products, information technology (IT), and tourism are also major contributors to the state's economy.
Wisconsin (statue)
The Wisconsin is a statue on top of the Wisconsin Capitol Building created by Daniel Chester French.
History
The Wisconsin statue on the dome was sculpted during 1913-1914 by Daniel Chester French of New York.
The commission to create the statue of Wisconsin on the top of the dome was originally promised to Helen Farnsworth Mears, originally of Wisconsin. When Daniel Chester French agreed to produce the finial figure, the commission was switched to him.
Description
This work, often referred to as the "Golden Lady", consists of an allegorical figure reminiscent of Athena, dressed in Greek garb, her right arm outstretched to symbolize the state motto, "Forward", and wearing a helmet topped by a badger, the Wisconsin state totem.
The figure's left hand holds a globe with an eagle perched on top. Across the eagle's chest is a large W, for Wisconsin, a detail hard to discern.
Wisconsin is 15 ft 5 in (4.70 m) tall and weighs 3 short tons (2.7 t).
The lady is also in a mural in the House of Representatives.
Wisconsin (album)
Wisconsin is the second album by the hardcore punk band The Crucifucks. The album is noted for having a more "mellow" sound compared to The Crucifucks debut, although its lyrics maintain a stridently anarchist political viewpoint.
