State Trunk Highway 160

One of the shorter trunk highways within the Badger State, Wis 160 links Wis 29 at the town of Angelica with the village of Pulaski. 3.44 miles in length, Wis 160 spans a portion of Shawano and Brown Counties. As part of the 1998 state bill, STH 160 was named the "Polish Veterans Memorial Highway"1, in honor of area war veterans of Polish descent.

Shawano County S concludes an 8.4 mile route at the T intersection with STH 55 and STH 160. STH 55 stems south to the city of Seymour in neighboring Outagamie County while STH 160 begins eastbound toward Brown County and Pulaski.
