State Trunk Highway 185 (Highway 185, STH-185 or WIS 185) was a state highway in Juneau County, Wisconsin. It traveled from County Trunk Highway A (CTH-A) in Hustler to US Highway 12/WIS 16 (US 12/WIS 16) in Camp Douglas.
Starting at CTH-A intersection in Hustler, WIS 185 traveled north towards Camp Douglas. Then, as it reached downtown Camp Douglas, it then crossed a railroad crossing. Further north, it then intersected US 12/WIS 16 just south of Interstate 94 (I-94). At this point, the highway ended here.[3] [4]

Back in 1918, the northernmost portion of WIS 33 traveled along what would become WIS 185.[5] WIS 33's Camp Douglas connection was short-lived as it then switched its service to La Crosse by 1920. Then, State Trunk Highway 94 (WIS 94) took over the former WIS 33 alignment north of Union Center.[6] [7] In 1924, WIS 94 was truncated to Elroy in favor of WIS 80's northern extension.[8] [9] In 1933, US 12/US 16 moved northerly to serve Camp Douglas.[10] [11] In 1935, WIS 94 was truncated even further, now running between CTH-AA (now CTH-A) in Hustler and US 12/US 16 (now US 12/WIS 16) in Camp Douglas.[12] [13]
In 1958, WIS 94 was decommissioned due to the introduction of I-94. As a result, WIS 185 took over the now-decommissioned route.[1] [2] During its existence, nothing significant happened to the routing. In 1991, WIS 185 was decommissioned in favor of transferring this route to local control (replaced with CTH-H).[4] The WIS 185 designation has not been used ever since.
