Explore Stambaugh, Michigan, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Stambaugh, 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 Stambaugh.
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.

Stambaugh occupies a rugged expanse of the Upper Peninsula where the earth is defined by deep mineral veins and dense, encroaching forest. It lies 66.9 miles west-southwest of Marquette, MI (from Marquette, MI: bearing 242°T), and is situated 1.1 miles southeast of Iron River. The horizon rises toward the distant silhouette of Sheridan Hill, anchoring a landscape that feels carved from stone and heavy timber. Nearby, the Iron River marks the land with a cold, insistent current, while the quiet surface of Ice Lake holds the reflection of the clouds in a stillness that persists through the changing seasons. The air here carries a sharp, metallic clarity, often cooling rapidly as the sun drops behind the tree line and shadows lengthen across the open expanse of Nelson Field.
Stambaugh grew from the hard labor of iron mining, a legacy that remains visible in the heavy, enduring architecture and the practical, unadorned layout of the streets. The local economy has shifted from the extraction of ore to a quieter existence that honors the persistence of those who first cleared the pines. Residents often move with a deliberate pace, mindful of the long winters that demand preparation and a certain stoic resilience. During the warmer months, the focus turns to the outdoors, whether traversing the Big Bear Ski Trail or venturing further afield to witness the seasonal surge of Chicagon Falls. It is a place where the history of the industry has settled into the soil, leaving a quiet, iron-willed character that persists in the rhythm of daily life.

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.
