How to Use This Bassett, Wisconsin Map

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

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.

Bassett occupies a quiet expanse of land where the flat, fertile earth yields to the subtle rise of the landscape toward the distant prominence of Mount Moriah. It lies 6.0 miles west of Salem, WI (from Salem, WI: bearing 261°T), and is situated 8.0 miles west-northwest of Antioch. Bassett Creek carves a deliberate path through the terrain, its waters moving with a steady, muted purpose that mirrors the slow drift of clouds over the fields. Only a mile away, the surface of Lake Mary catches the pale light of late afternoon, reflecting a sky that feels vast and unburdened by the press of larger horizons. The air here holds the scent of turned soil and cooling grasses, carrying the stillness of the New Munster Wildlife Area, which stretches out to embrace the perimeter of the settlement with a wild, untamed grace.

Agricultural rhythms have long defined the life of Bassett, grounding the local economy in the seasonal cycles of the surrounding plains. The legacy of early settlers persists in the sturdy, unadorned architecture that dots the roadsides, a reminder of the industrious spirit that first broke this ground. People here move through their days with a deliberate, measured pace, finding a shared sense of belonging in the modest comforts of the region. As dusk descends, the cooling temperature brings a crispness to the evening, drawing the focus inward toward the warmth of local kitchens and the steady, quiet pulse of a life lived close to the land.

About This Bassett Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bassett, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.540574, -88.227868. 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 Bassett includes the ZIP code (53181, 53101), telephone area code (608), county seat of Kenosha County (Kenosha), and school district assignment.

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.
