Explore Biron, 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 Biron, 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 Biron.
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.

Biron unfolds across a landscape defined by the deliberate, steady movement of the Biron Flowage, which anchors the horizon in a mirror of gray-blue water. It lies 3.3 miles north-northeast of Wisconsin Rapids, WI (from Wisconsin Rapids, WI: bearing 33°T), and is situated 3.8 miles north-northwest of Lake Wazeecha. Mosquito Creek cuts a quiet, persistent path through the low-lying terrain, its banks thick with the tangled greenery of the inland woods that define the local topography. Beyond the immediate water, the land stretches into a flat, unassuming expanse where the air holds a crisp, earthen clarity, especially as the evening light catches the reeds and turns the surface of the flowage into polished pewter. Eight miles to the west, the subtle rise of Rock Hill breaks the otherwise level perspective, providing a solitary, rounded landmark against the expansive sky.
Biron owes its character to a legacy of industry, where the rhythmic hum of paper manufacturing has long dictated the tempo of the day. This heritage remains visible in the sturdy, pragmatic architecture that lines the streets, reflecting a history built on the utilization of local timber and water power. Residents often retreat to the quiet spaces of Biron Park, a green refuge that offers a stark, peaceful contrast to the industrial pulse nearby. The local culture retains the pragmatic, unpretentious spirit of the region, where the turning of the seasons dictates the pace of life and the changing colors of the woods serve as the primary calendar for those who call Biron home.

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.
