How to Use This Cudahy, Wisconsin Map

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

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.

Cudahy occupies a stretch of land defined by the expansive, shifting presence of Lake Michigan. It lies 3.4 miles north of South Milwaukee, WI (from South Milwaukee, WI: bearing 359°T), and is situated 5.9 miles south-southeast of Milwaukee. The landscape surrounding Cudahy remains largely level, characterized by the fertile plains and subtle shifts in elevation typical of the region. A short distance away, the waters of Oak Creek carve a path through the earth, marking the terrain with a quiet, persistent movement. Residents of Cudahy often find solace in the open green spaces of Greene Park, where the horizon feels vast and unencumbered by dense construction. As evening approaches, the light catches the low-lying fields, casting long shadows that emphasize the humble, grounded nature of the surrounding geography. Even four miles removed at the Milwaukee Municipal Mooring Basin, the influence of the water shapes the industrial rhythm of the district.

Cudahy emerged from a landscape shaped by the ambitions of early manufacturing, finding its footing as a hub for heavy industry. The local economy grew in tandem with the expansion of meatpacking facilities, which provided the engine for the region's development during the twentieth century. This industrial heritage remains visible in the sturdy, utilitarian architecture that defines the streetscapes of Cudahy today. While the nature of local commerce has evolved, the spirit of the labor force retains a distinct, hardworking character rooted in those early years of production. Small businesses and modern enterprises now operate within the bones of an older, more smoke-filled era, creating a unique texture of progress and preservation. The interplay between these legacy industries and contemporary shifts continues to define the daily life of those who work within the borders of Cudahy.

Cultural life in Cudahy reflects a blend of Midwestern resilience and a deep-seated appreciation for communal traditions. Residents often gather for local events that celebrate the heritage of the area, maintaining a pace that favors steady, neighborly interaction over rapid urban movement. The character of Cudahy is marked by a pragmatic grace, where the focus remains on the reliability of the neighborhood and the quality of the local schools. While many notable figures have moved through the region, the true essence of the place is found in the everyday persistence of its inhabitants. Landmarks serve as quiet touchstones for the community, grounding the collective identity in a shared sense of place. This environment fosters a sense of belonging that is as enduring as the plains that stretch out toward the horizon.

About This Cudahy Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cudahy, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.946711, -87.864016. 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 Cudahy includes the ZIP code (53110), telephone area code (608), county seat of Milwaukee County (Milwaukee), and school district assignment (Cudahy 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.
