How to Use This Edgar, Wisconsin Map

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

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.

Edgar occupies a quiet expanse of Wisconsin where the land rises and falls in long, rhythmic swells of fertile earth. It lies 6.0 miles west of Marathon, WI (from Marathon, WI: bearing 269°T), and is situated 16.5 miles west of Wausau. The Omar Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the landscape, its dark waters reflecting the changing sky as it flows past the dense, protective canopy of the Edgar Oak St Park. Within the park boundaries, the trees stand as ancient sentinels, their deep roots anchoring the soil against the seasonal transition from the brittle, crystalline cold of winter to the humid, verdant heat of midsummer. Far off toward the horizon, the silhouette of the Philippine Islands provides a jagged, distant boundary to the otherwise gentle sweep of the plains, while the Big Eau Pleine Reservoir waits nine miles away, a vast, still presence that moderates the mood of the surrounding fields.

Edgar maintains a steady, industrious character defined by the legacy of early settlers who recognized the potential in the rich, dark loam of this region. The local economy remains tethered to the patterns of the land, with dairy farms and agricultural production dictating the seasonal pulse of life. In the quiet hours of the evening, the air carries a faint, sharp scent of turned earth and pine, a reminder of the craftsmanship and toil that built the settlement. Social life here circles around long-standing traditions, where the Friday fish fry serves as a communal anchor, drawing neighbors together to share in a simple, reliable ritual. This is a place where the pace is measured by the light shifting across the barn roofs and the steady, quiet persistence of those who call Edgar home.

About This Edgar Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Edgar, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 44.927189, -89.963463. 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 Edgar includes the ZIP code (54426), telephone area code (715), county seat of Marathon County (Wausau), and school district assignment (Edgar 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.
