How to Use This Ironwood, Michigan Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ironwood, Michigan. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Michigan or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Ironwood.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

It lies 64.7 miles northeast of Sawyer, WI (from Sawyer, WI: bearing 47°T), and is situated 12.1 miles north-northeast of Iron. The terrain rises toward the Gogebic Range, a silent, ancient spine that anchors the horizon in a perpetual shade of deep pine green. Only two miles distant, the quiet surface of Lake Lavina reflects the shifting sky, offering a stillness that contrasts with the brisk, persistent current of the Montreal River nearby. Visitors often pause at Ironwood Historic Depot Park, where the architecture serves as a lingering reminder of a landscape shaped by the demanding labor of the earth. The rhythm of life here remains tied to the seasons, as winter snows eventually yield to the spring thaw that swells the force of Peterson Falls. Those seeking to traverse the wilder reaches of the woods look toward the Horseshoe Ski Trail, finding a pace of life that values the endurance of the land and the quiet resilience of its inhabitants.

About This Ironwood Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ironwood, Michigan. Coordinates: 46.452209, -90.150432. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Ironwood includes the ZIP code (49938), telephone area code (906), county seat of Gogebic County (Bessemer), and school district assignment (Ironwood Area Schools).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
