How to Use This Brokaw, Wisconsin Map

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

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.

About Brokaw, Wisconsin

Brokaw is a locality in Marathon County, Wisconsin, United States. It is a small community with a population of 680. The population density is 120.0 people per km². Brokaw is located at 45.0272°N, 89.6532°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 54417.

Brokaw sits upon the sturdy, weathered earth of central Wisconsin, defined largely by the persistent, dark currents of the Wisconsin River that carve through the landscape. It lies 4.8 miles north-northwest of Wausau, WI (from Wausau, WI: bearing 347°T), and is situated 8.0 miles north of Rib Mountain. The river cuts a decisive line through the terrain, its water reflecting the slate-gray clouds that often gather above the low-slung horizon. Beyond the immediate banks, the land stretches into a quiet expanse of woodland and open fields, where the air carries the sharp, clean scent of damp pine and cooling soil. In the distance, the faint, hazy silhouettes of the Harrison Hills provide a jagged interruption to the otherwise level skyline, reminding observers of the vast, ancient geography that anchors this interior stretch of the continent.

Brokaw bears the quiet, industrial gravity of a place built upon the labor of the timber and paper trades. For generations, the rhythm of the locality was measured by the hum of the mill, an economic engine that shaped the lives of families who settled here, bringing with them the persistent traditions of the northern European migrants. Though the scale of local industry has shifted, the character of the site remains tethered to its working roots, felt in the solid architecture and the unpretentious pace of the few streets that remain. Visitors seeking the stillness of the regional environment often find their way to Unknown Park, where the land offers an unadorned space for reflection, far removed from the busier shores of Lake Wausau. Life here persists with a steady, deliberate motion, colored by the seasonal transitions that turn the surrounding woods from a vibrant, thick green into a brittle, frozen stillness.
