How to Use This Benoit, Wisconsin Map

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

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.

Benoit occupies a quiet expanse of northern woodland where the South Fish Creek carves a persistent, winding path through the dense, verdant undergrowth. It lies 47.2 miles north of Sawyer, WI (from Sawyer, WI: bearing 5°T), and is situated 11.1 miles southwest of Ashland. The landscape surrounding Benoit remains dominated by the stubborn persistence of timber and glacial soil, a terrain that demands a patient hand from those who work the earth. On clear evenings, the silhouette of Saint Peters Dome rises against the horizon, grounding the vast sky in a steady, geologic permanence. Seven miles to the east, the waters of Spider Lake hold the reflection of passing clouds, while the nearby South Shore Lake Superior Fish area serves as a silent custodian of the regional wilderness, keeping the rhythm of the woods intact.

Benoit emerged from the legacy of the logging era, a history etched into the grain of the weathered siding on its older dwellings and the enduring pride of its residents. The local economy maintains a steady, modest pulse, rooted in the labor of the land and the quiet industry of those who have long called this geography home. Life in Benoit proceeds with a deliberate, unadorned grace, where the arrival of dusk brings a stillness that settles deep into the valley, undisturbed by the frantic pace of the wider world. Whether tending to small-scale agriculture or navigating the seasonal shifts of the North Woods, the people of Benoit carry forward a heritage defined by resilience and a profound, quiet connection to the land they cultivate.

About This Benoit Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Benoit, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 46.501891, -91.076858. 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 Benoit includes the ZIP code (54856, 54816, 54871), telephone area code (715), county seat of Bayfield County (Washburn), 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.
