Explore Argonne, Wisconsin, 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 Argonne, Wisconsin. 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 Wisconsin 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 Argonne.
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.

Argonne occupies a quiet expanse of the North Woods, where the dense canopy of hardwoods and conifers yields to the persistent, low-slung geography of the Wisconsin interior. It lies 33.2 miles north-northwest of Langlade, WI (from Langlade, WI: bearing 348°T), and is situated 25.8 miles east of Rhinelander. The landscape is defined by a glacial austerity, characterized by thickets of cedar and the cold, dark water of the West Branch Peshtigo River that cuts through the brush just a mile from the center. Within the silence of these woods, the sun catches the amber reeds of Little Marshall Lake, casting long, sharp shadows that stretch across the forest floor as evening descends. Beyond the immediate tree line, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Harrison Hills marks the horizon, a reminder of the rugged terrain that dictates the flow of the local watersheds and the movement of the seasonal winds.
History in Argonne remains tethered to the rhythm of the timber industry and the hardy persistence of those who settled among the marshes and glacial debris. A mile away, the quiet waters of Statewide Spring Ponds - Nw sustain a fragile, hidden ecology that has watched the local economy shift from the raw extraction of wood to the slower, steadier pace of a regional interior life. The culture here is marked by the deliberate habits of those who know the land, where the evening light brings the smell of pine smoke and the steady, unadorned work of keeping a place in the deep interior. People move with a focused intent, gathering in the warmth of local halls as the temperature drops, honoring traditions brought by generations who built their lives on the edge of these wilderness tracts.

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.
