How to Use This Colfax, Wisconsin Map

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

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.

Colfax reveals itself through the steady, amber-hued currents of the Red Cedar River as it carves a path through the quiet bedrock of the Wisconsin landscape. It lies 8.1 miles northeast of Rusk, WI (from Rusk, WI: bearing 40°T), and is situated 5.9 miles east of Tainter Lake. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, carrying the scent of damp timber and cooling soil across the expansive fields that surround the local streets. At the Rem-Red Cedar River Public Access, the water slows to a glassy drift, reflecting the shifting clouds that move over the horizon toward the distant, faint silhouette of The Hogback. Sunlight catches the limestone outcroppings in the late afternoon, casting long shadows that stretch across the meadows, while the nearby reach of Tainter Lake gathers the evening light into a singular, shimmering expanse of gray and gold.

Colfax emerged from the labor of early settlers who recognized the potential in the fertile soil and the reliable energy of the moving water. The local economy maintains a deliberate pace, rooted in the traditions of agriculture and the industry of the land, where the rhythms of the seasons dictate the flow of daily commerce. A distinct cultural heritage persists in the quiet craftsmanship and the steady, unassuming hospitality found in the local establishments, where the Friday evening meal remains a firm, enduring custom. Life moves with a grounded, intentional grace, defined by the persistence of the landscape and the enduring connection between the inhabitants and the fields that have sustained them for generations.
