How to Use This Blanchardville, Wisconsin Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Blanchardville, 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 Blanchardville.
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.

ZIP code: 53516.Blanchardville reveals itself through the steady, patient movement of the East Branch Pecatonica River as it carves a path through the quiet landscape of the Driftless region. It lies 14.1 miles southeast of Iowa, WI (from Iowa, WI: bearing 130°T), and is situated 17.4 miles northwest of Green. The terrain surrounding Blanchardville is characterized by steep, unglaciated limestone ridges and deep, verdant hollows that create a distinct, fractured horizon. To the west, the landscape dips into the quietude of McPeace Valley, where the morning mist often clings to the soil, softening the edges of the farmland. The light here at dusk holds a particular clarity, turning the long shadows of the prairie grasses into deep, bruised purples that stretch across the fields toward the distant rise of Mount Pleasant.
Blanchardville maintains a character shaped by its roots as a hub for the surrounding dairy and agricultural economy, where the rhythm of the day is dictated by the turning of the seasons and the cycle of the harvest. The influence of early Scandinavian and Germanic settlers remains evident in the modest, sturdy architecture and the enduring preference for communal gatherings that anchor the social life of the residents. Beyond the immediate center, the nearby Natural Area preserves a portion of the original woodland, offering a glimpse of the landscape as it existed before the plow. Life in Blanchardville moves with a deliberate, measured pace, finding its expression in the quiet industry of the fields and the steady flow of the river, which remains the constant, silver-threaded witness to the history of the valley.

About This Blanchardville Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Blanchardville, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.810279, -89.862068. 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 Blanchardville includes the ZIP code (53516), telephone area code (715), county seat of Lafayette County (Darlington), and school district assignment (Pecatonica Area 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.
