Explore Buffalo City, 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 Buffalo City, 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 Buffalo City.
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.

Buffalo City remains anchored to the earth by the steady, slow-moving pulse of the Pomme de Terre Slough, which carves a quiet path through the landscape. It lies 16.6 miles northwest of Buffalo, WI (from Buffalo, WI: bearing 312°T), and is situated 16.7 miles northwest of Winona. The horizon is defined by the heavy, silent presence of Huber Ridge, rising two miles to the west to catch the fading afternoon light. Beyond the immediate reach of the slough, the land transitions into the quietude of Rose Valley, where the air holds a cool, damp weight, particularly during the transition between seasons. Residents often find their way to Park, a modest stretch of green space that serves as a local anchor, while the deeper, more ancient timber of the Richard J Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest waits twelve miles away, offering a dense, shadowed refuge for those seeking the stillness of the deep woods. Lizzy Pauls Pond sits just two miles from the center, a small, reflective eye in the landscape that mirrors the shifting gray and gold of the Midwestern sky.
Buffalo City carries the quiet, industrious legacy of early settlers who understood that prosperity here was tied to the soil and the river’s reach. The local economy persists with a steady, unadorned rhythm, deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions that have sustained these families for generations. Life in Buffalo City unfolds with a deliberate pace, marked by the simple, enduring rituals of small-town existence where the labor of the day is often traded for the comfort of a shared supper. There is a specific, grounded resilience in the way the local architecture sits against the rising slopes, a testament to a culture that values endurance over flash. Even as the seasons turn and the fields transition from the vibrant green of early summer to the stark, frozen silence of winter, the people maintain a connection to the land that is as consistent as the flow of the Pomme de Terre Slough 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.
