Explore Boaz, 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 Boaz, 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 Boaz.
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.

Boaz occupies a quiet pocket of the landscape where Mill Creek carves its way through the earth, marking the deep, unglaciated terrain of the region. It lies 9.2 miles southwest of Richland, WI (from Richland, WI: bearing 236°T), and is situated 7.0 miles west of Richland Center. Core Hollow defines the immediate topography, pulling the horizon inward as the land dips into shadowed basins that hold the morning mist long after the sun has climbed over the nearby heights of Maple Ridge. The soil here remains heavy and dark, sustaining a quiet persistence in the woods and pastures that stretch toward the horizon. At dusk, the light catches the limestone outcrops in a way that turns the gray rock to a soft, bruised violet, casting a stillness over the fields that feels both ancient and entirely present.
Boaz emerged from the industry of the land, shaped by the cycles of dairy farming and the steady labor required to work the stubborn, beautiful soil of the Driftless. The local economy remains tethered to this agricultural heritage, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of life more than the ticking of a clock. Residents often look toward the nearby Scattered Wildlife for a reprieve from the daily tasks, finding a familiar solitude in the conserved timber and brush. Life in Boaz moves with an understated dignity, reflecting a history of settlement built by those who valued the shelter of the hollows and the reliable flow of the creek, keeping the focus centered on the immediate work of the day and the enduring character of the land itself.

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.
