Wisconsin Highway 71 partially coincident with Wisconsin Highway 108
Route description
Melrose to Sparta
WIS 71 begins at an intersection with WIS 54 in the southern part of the Village of Melrose in the Town of Melrose, Jackson County; the junction is also the northern terminus of WIS 108. With a few brief exceptions, WIS 71 is almost entirely a two-lane road and, except for the communities through which it passes, WIS 71 runs through rural agricultural land.
From its western terminus WIS 71 initially heads southerly, running concurrently with WIS 108, for about 1.3 miles (2.1 km). The highway quickly leaves the Village of Melrose to enter the Town of Melrose, before crossing the Black River. Shortly after the river crossing, WIS 71 turns easterly at a T intersection; WIS 108 continues southerly toward Mindoro and West Salem.
From the southern end of its concurrency with WIS 108, WIS 71 heads southeasterly for about 1.8 miles (2.9 km) before leaving the Town of Melrose in Jackson County and entering the Town of Little Falls in Monroe County. After roughly 3.0 more miles (4.8 km) the highway reaches its junction with the northern end of WIS 162 in the unincorporated community of Four Corners. Approximately 2.8 miles (4.5 km) further southeasterly, and just after crossing over Spencer Creek, WIS 71 reaches its northern junction with WIS 27 at a T intersection. From its northern junction with WIS 27, WIS 71 heads southerly, concurrently with WIS 27, for about 2.2 miles (3.5 km) before leaving the Town of Little Falls and entering the Town of Sparta. The highway continues southerly for about 5.8 miles (9.3 km) before entering the city of Sparta.
