How to Use This Cable, Wisconsin Map

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

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 Cable, Wisconsin

Cable is a locality in Bayfield County, Wisconsin, United States. It is a small community with a population of 177. The population density is 62.7 people per km². Cable is located at 46.2080°N, 91.2921°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 54821.

Cable emerges from the dense, pine-shadowed expanse of northern Wisconsin, where the terrain rises and falls in long, glacial swells of earth covered in thickets of maple and aspen. It lies 27.3 miles north-northwest of Sawyer, WI (from Sawyer, WI: bearing 348°T), and is situated 16.3 miles northeast of Hayward. Cold air settles into the hollows near Wiley Lake, turning the morning mist into a silver veil that clings to the mossy trunks of ancient trees. The terrain feels ancient and quiet, defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of the Namekagon River as it carves a winding path through the landscape. To the north, the rounded slope of Mount Telemark provides a solitary elevation against the horizon, anchoring a wilderness that feels vast and indifferent to the hurried pace of the wider world.

Cable maintains a steady, deliberate pulse, rooted in a history of timber harvesting and a rugged, self-reliant economy that has evolved to embrace the seasonal cycles of the North Woods. Visitors often gravitate toward the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway to experience the raw, unadorned water, while local life centers on the quiet resilience of a community that understands the harshness of long, snow-heavy winters. The nearby Uhrenholdt Memorial State Forest preserves the quietude of the timberlands, offering a sanctuary for those who travel miles to traverse the groomed paths of the Rock Lake National Recreation Trail. Here, the culture remains deeply tied to the land, reflecting a heritage of endurance where the evening light lingers over the timber, casting long, amber shadows across a landscape that demands respect for its wild, untamed character.
