How to Use This Cambridge, Wisconsin Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cambridge, 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 Cambridge.
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 Cambridge, Wisconsin
Cambridge is a locality in Dane County, Wisconsin, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,638. The population density is 429.6 people per km². Cambridge is located at 43.0036°N, 89.0165°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Cambridge is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 53523.Cambridge emerges from the landscape as a quiet convergence of glacial earth and temperate woodland, where the Koshkonong Creek traces a serpentine path through the low-lying terrain. It lies 10.4 miles west-northwest of Fort Atkinson, WI (from Fort Atkinson, WI: bearing 300°T), and is situated 7.5 miles southwest of Lake Mills. The air here holds the damp, fertile scent of the surrounding fields, and the light at dusk settles in long, pale ribbons across the meadows that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Liberty Mound. Only a mile away, the surface of Lake Ripley mirrors the shifting gray and gold of the Wisconsin sky, providing a stillness that defines the physical character of the region. Within the village itself, the open green space of Village Veterans Park offers a central point of repose, where the wind moves through the grass with a rhythmic, soft persistence that seems to anchor the surrounding countryside.
Cambridge bears the mark of settlers who recognized the utility of the creek’s steady flow for the early mills that once powered the local economy. Today, the economy has shifted from those foundational industries to a focus on artisanal craftsmanship and small-scale enterprise, reflecting a heritage defined by the steady, industrious spirit of the Midwest. The streets carry a deliberate, unhurried pace, punctuated by the architecture of a bygone era that remains functional and unadorned. Visitors often find that the character of Cambridge is not in grand monuments, but in the way the local life aligns with the seasons, from the heavy harvests of autumn to the deep, silent insulation of winter.

About This Cambridge Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cambridge, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 43.003612, -89.0165. 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 Cambridge includes the ZIP code (53523), telephone area code (715), county seat of Dane County (Madison), and school district assignment (Cambridge 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.
