Taylor County — From Cutover Wasteland to National Forest Gateway

Taylor County's landscape tells one of Wisconsin's great land-use transformation stories. In the early 1900s, the north-central portion of the county was stripped bare by logging companies — leaving behind tax-delinquent, fire-prone cutover land that nobody wanted. In 1933, the federal government stepped in, designating this neglected land as part of the Chequamegon National Forest — now part of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest spanning 1.5 million acres. Today that same land hosts the Camp 8 ATV Trails — one of Wisconsin's most popular off-road riding systems — alongside the Perkinstown Motorized Trails on the National Forest itself. The southern half of the county tells a different story: dairy farming has shaped the landscape for over a century, with the county once hosting over 3,300 dairy farms at its 1940s peak. Today manufacturing employs 26.3% of Taylor County workers — the highest of any single sector and unusually high for a northwoods county — driven by specialty manufacturers in and around Medford. The terrain straddles three major river systems: the Black River, the Jump River, and the Rib River all originate or flow through Taylor County.

Taylor County's effective tax rate of 1.42% sits near the Wisconsin state average — notable for a northwoods county where most comparable counties run well below average. This reflects Medford's urban service infrastructure and the county's strong manufacturing base. Buyers should verify municipality-specific rates carefully — Medford city carries the highest bills while rural northern townships adjacent to National Forest land carry significantly lower rates. Document images are available via LandShark back to 1985.
