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

ZIP code: 53923.Cambria occupies a quiet expanse of Wisconsin terrain where the North Branch Duck Creek meanders through the landscape, carving a subtle path through the surrounding fields. It lies 14.7 miles west-northwest of Beaver Dam, WI (from Beaver Dam, WI: bearing 293°T), and is situated 19.9 miles west-southwest of Waupun. The earth here holds a deep, fertile patience, defined by the steady presence of Tarrant Lake, which mirrors the shifting moods of the Midwestern sky. Beyond the immediate horizon, the North Range lingers as a faint, serrated silhouette against the twilight, a distant reminder of the rugged geography that defines the wider region. When the sun dips low, the light catches the golden stalks of grain and the dark, upturned soil, casting long, deliberate shadows that stretch across the plains and emphasize the stillness of the Peter Helland Wildlife Area, where the land remains reclaimed by the wild.
Cambria emerged from the industrious spirit of nineteenth-century settlers who recognized the agricultural potential of this prairie basin, establishing a character rooted in the resilience of the soil. The local economy persists as a quiet machinery of harvest and heritage, where the daily rhythm is dictated by the turning seasons rather than the frantic pace of larger hubs. Life in Cambria reflects a blend of European legacies, carrying the quiet, stoic echoes of German and Welsh forebears into the modern era. On quiet evenings, the air carries the scent of damp earth and cooling asphalt, a sensory testament to a place that values the steady, predictable cycles of small-scale commerce and the enduring bonds of a landscape that has provided for generations.

About This Cambria Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cambria, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 43.542207, -89.107336. 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 Cambria includes the ZIP code (53923), telephone area code (920), county seat of Columbia County (Portage), and school district assignment (Cambria-Friesland 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.
