Explore Arkdale, 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 Arkdale, 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 Arkdale.
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.

Arkdale remains a quiet intersection of earth and water, defined by the persistent flow of the Big Roche a Cri Creek as it carves through the central plains. It lies 24.9 miles south of Wisconsin Rapids, WI (from Wisconsin Rapids, WI: bearing 188°T), and is situated 6.0 miles northwest of Adams. The landscape spreads out in a tapestry of sandy soil and modest woodlots, where the sunlight at dusk seems to thicken, casting a long, amber glow over the fields that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Duckworth Ridge. Arkdale Lake anchors the immediate horizon, its surface often mirroring the stillness of the surrounding pine and oak, providing a calm basin that holds the sky in its depths. The air here carries the scent of damp loam and pine needles, a grounding perfume that lingers long after the sun has slipped below the tree line.
History in Arkdale whispers through the modest architecture and the steady, unpretentious pace of agricultural life that has long sustained the families rooted in this soil. The local economy draws its strength from the cycles of the land, with small-scale farming and the seasonal rhythms of the outdoors dictating the flow of the days. A short distance away, the towering rock formations of Roche A Cri State Park offer a stark, vertical contrast to the otherwise level expanse, serving as a reminder of the ancient geological forces that shaped this region. Life in Arkdale moves with the deliberation of the creek, favoring the quiet utility of a Friday evening gathering or the simple satisfaction of a well-tended harvest over the frantic noise of more populous corridors.

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.
