How to Use This Arlington, Wisconsin Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Arlington, 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 Arlington.

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.

Arlington emerges from the expansive, flat horizon of the Wisconsin landscape as a quiet grid of streets defined by the seasonal pulse of the surrounding fields. It lies 6.5 miles north-northwest of DeForest, WI (from DeForest, WI: bearing 344°T), and is situated 8.5 miles north-northwest of Windsor. The land here holds the stillness of the prairie, where the sky feels vast and unburdened, pressing down on the silken expanse of corn and soy that stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Goose Egg Hill. A few miles away, the quiet currents of Rowan Creek trace a serpentine path through the soil, offering a muted, silver contrast to the rhythmic geometry of the farmland. The light at dusk here is a pale, thin gold, clarifying the edges of the barns and silos that stand like sentinels against the encroaching dark.

Agriculture remains the steady heartbeat of Arlington, a legacy of the German and Scandinavian families who turned this soil into a patchwork of productive earth. Beyond the reach of the plow, the Rowan Creek Fishery Area provides a sanctuary where the tall grasses sway in the wind, mimicking the motion of the crops that sustain the local economy. Life in Arlington moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, marked by the communal warmth of a Friday fish fry and the slow, heavy turn of the planting and harvest cycles. Even the distant, hidden depths of Mud Lake seem to reflect the town’s own understated character, a place where history is not etched in monuments but in the persistent, honest labor of those who work the land.

About This Arlington Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Arlington, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 43.338044, -89.380396. 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 Arlington includes the ZIP code (53911), telephone area code (920), county seat of Columbia County (Portage), and school district assignment (Poynette School District).

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.
