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

It lies 12.7 miles east of Green, WI (from Green, WI: bearing 93°T), and is situated 18.7 miles west-southwest of Janesville. Within the quiet boundaries of Veterans Memorial Park, the air carries a crisp, earthen weight, smelling of damp soil and the distant, cooling breath of the Sugar River just a mile away. Sunlight filters through the canopy in thin, golden needles, illuminating the dust motes that dance above the grass where the land stretches toward the far-off silhouette of Hardpan Ridge. The horizon remains wide and unencumbered, a vast expanse of sky that changes from pale violet to bruised indigo as the day retreats, leaving the fields to settle into a deep, watchful silence.
Brodhead maintains a steady, deliberate pulse, rooted in an economy that has long favored the yield of the soil and the patient labor of the workshop. The legacy of the railway remains etched into the downtown architecture, where sturdy brick facades stand as quiet witnesses to the generations who moved timber, grain, and dairy products through these corridors. Beyond the quiet streets, the proximity to Decatur Lake provides a reflective mirror for the sky, drawing the eye toward the water’s edge where the reeds sway in rhythmic unison. Life here moves with the sun, a persistence of habit and industry that respects the seasons, turning the focus of the day toward the preservation of a quiet, enduring order that defines the character of the region.

About This Brodhead Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Brodhead, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.618342, -89.376228. 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 Brodhead includes the ZIP code (53520), telephone area code (715), county seat of Green County (Monroe), and school district assignment (Brodhead 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.
