How to Use This Carlsville, Wisconsin Map

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

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 Carlsville, Wisconsin

Carlsville is a locality in Door County, Wisconsin, United States. It is a small community with a population of 680. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Carlsville is located at 44.9517°N, 87.3368°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 54235.

Carlsville occupies a modest, quiet stretch of land where the horizon feels heavy with the scent of damp pine and the persistent, cool breath of Lake Michigan. It lies 17.6 miles southeast of Marinette, WI (from Marinette, WI: bearing 125°T), and is situated 8.4 miles north-northeast of Sturgeon Bay. The landscape is defined by a subtle, glacial persistence, where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells toward the distant Door-Leelanau Ridge that haunts the western skyline. Only a mile away, the Carlsville Escarpment Preserve guards a limestone spine of land, its dense thickets and limestone fissures holding the shadows long after the sun has retreated. Nearby, the waters of Lilly Bay Creek cut a darkened, meandering path through the brush, their movement rhythmic and sluggish, while the broader expanse of Lake Michigan exerts a silent, gravitational pull on the climate, tempering the heat of summer and sharpening the bite of the coming winter.

Carlsville maintains an economy tethered to the soil and the seasonal migration of visitors, rooted in a history of settlers who carved livelihoods from the dense woods and rugged fields. The rhythm of the days is punctuated by the steady industry of local dairy farms and small-batch enterprises, where the pride of craft remains a quiet, unstated language. On Friday evenings, the air carries the familiar, savory scent of the traditional fish fry, a ritual that draws residents together in the dim, wood-paneled warmth of supper clubs. While the bustling shipping lanes of Little Harbor remain a few miles off, the influence of the water persists in the local character, a blend of Scandinavian and Germanic stoicism that values hard work and the slow, deliberate change of the seasons over the frantic pace of modern life.

About This Carlsville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Carlsville, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 44.951661, -87.336769. 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 Carlsville includes the ZIP code (54235), telephone area code (715), county seat of Door County (Sturgeon Bay), and school district assignment.

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.
