Source-derived summary

State Trunk Highway 147 (often called Highway 147, STH-147 or WIS 147) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs in northwest–southeast in east central Wisconsin from near Maribel to Two Rivers. It is one of two state highways linking I-43 and WIS 42, the other being WIS 310.

Route description

Highway 147's southern terminus ends at the corner of Washington and 22nd streets in Two Rivers. Highway 42 goes east toward Lake Michigan while 147 goes west. About 0.2 miles (0.3 km) later on 22nd street, 147 takes a right and becomes Forest Avenue. After going northwest for about 0.7 of a mile (1.13 km), Highway 147 continues northwest on what becomes Mishicot Road. Mishicot Road twists around for about 1.19 mi (1.91 km) until Highway 147 heads out of Two Rivers. The highway curves around for 3.15 miles (5.07 km) before visiting the Village of Mishicot. The road also becomes Main Street in Mishicot.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Wisconsin Highway 147” is highway in Wisconsin. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Wisconsin, Highway and highway, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 160-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Wisconsin, Highway and highway is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “highway in Wisconsin” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q840032. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
