The Wisconsin Valley Railroad (later the Milwaukee Road) once passed through Mather on its route from Tomah to northern Wisconsin. The Tomah to Babcock portion was abandoned in stages in the 1920s and 1930s, and Hwy 173 was built on the right-of-way. A short-lived branch line also ran northwest from Mather to serve logging interests and several tiny communities in eastern Jackson County, and was abandoned by 1900.

gollark: Trouble is that you can only use that when within about 15 blocks of a server, but that shouldn't be too problematic.
gollark: Makes sense.
gollark: Relative only.
gollark: How would you use that? Surely it can't locate your canvases.
