How to Use This Burlington, Wisconsin Map

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

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.

Burlington defines the horizon where the gentle, fertile plains of the Midwest meet the cooling influence of the White River. It lies 12.0 miles northwest of Salem, WI (from Salem, WI: bearing 315°T), and is situated 10.0 miles northeast of Lake Geneva. The landscape remains defined by its inland position, far removed from the reach of any coastline, where the stillness of the afternoon air often lingers over the water. Echo Lake mirrors the changing sky, providing a quiet focal point that anchors the surrounding acreage. Five miles to the west, the subtle rise of Mount Tom breaks the otherwise level plains, offering a modest elevation that frames the local topography. Wehmhoff Square serves as the verdant center of daily activity, where the shade of mature trees provides relief during the humid peak of midsummer.

Burlington emerged from the necessity of harnessing the power of the White River, which once drove the machinery of early mills and industry. The economy has transitioned from its agrarian roots into a diverse mix of manufacturing and local commerce that sustains the residents throughout the changing seasons. Skilled labor and a persistent work ethic remain the primary engines of the local industry, reflecting a history built on steady, incremental growth. Generations of families have contributed to the character of Burlington, grounding the local economy in a reliability that mirrors the enduring nature of the soil. Even as technology shifts the focus of trade, the fundamental spirit of production remains a core value of the people who call Burlington home.

Cultural life in Burlington finds its expression in the communal gatherings that mark the calendar, particularly during the warm months when the light stretches long into the evening. Residents often congregate at Wehmhoff Square, a space that serves as the social anchor for the local population and hosts a variety of seasonal events. The town maintains a distinct identity that balances a quiet, reserved temperament with a welcoming approach to public life. Among the figures associated with the broader history of the region, the inventor William M. Horlick stands as a notable name, having left an indelible mark on the development of the area through his contributions to industrial innovation. A visitor will find that the rhythm of life in Burlington is dictated not by haste, but by an appreciation for the steady, predictable cycles of the seasons.

About This Burlington Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Burlington, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.678073, -88.276203. 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 Burlington includes the ZIP code (53105), telephone area code (608), county seat of Racine County (Racine), and school district assignment (Burlington 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.
