Explore Arkansaw, 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 Arkansaw, 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 Arkansaw.
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.

Arkansaw emerges from the verdant, unglaciated folds of the terrain where the persistent current of Arkansaw Creek carves a narrow path through the limestone-heavy earth. It lies 11.0 miles south-southwest of Dunn, WI (from Dunn, WI: bearing 208°T), and is situated 17.6 miles south-southwest of Menomonie. The landscape here is defined by sharp, irregular ridges and deep, secluded hollows, forming a rugged topography that remains untouched by the leveling force of ancient glaciers. To the east, the elevation rises toward the silhouette of The Hogback, which casts long, indigo shadows across the fields as the sun dips low. A short distance away, the low-lying expanse of Dead Lake Prairie offers a stark, grassy contrast to the wooded slopes, while the quiet waters of Wilcox Lake mirror the shifting moods of the Wisconsin sky. The air holds a crisp, earthen weight, smelling of damp limestone and the dense, deciduous canopy that clings to the steep hillsides.
Arkansaw preserves the quiet industry of a region built upon the persistent labor of generations who cleared these timbered valleys for dairy and grain. The local rhythm is dictated by the turning of the seasons and the maintenance of the nearby Extensive Wl Habitat - Public Hunting Ground, which draws those seeking the solitude of the deep woods. Life in Arkansaw moves with a deliberate, measured pace, reflective of a history rooted in the grit of small-scale agriculture and the sturdy traditions of those who settled this interior landscape. In the evenings, the glow from a roadside establishment signals the time for a communal meal, grounding the people in a shared culture that values the permanence of the soil over the fleeting trends of the world beyond the ridges.

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.
