Explore Elk Mound, Wisconsin, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Elk Mound, 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 Elk Mound.
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.

Elk Mound rises from the landscape as a solitary, prominent elevation, a landmark of earth and stone that commands the surrounding expanse of the Wisconsin countryside. It lies 7.4 miles east-southeast of Rusk, WI (from Rusk, WI: bearing 109°T), and is situated 10.3 miles west-northwest of Eau Claire. The terrain here reflects the ancient, unglaciated character of the region, where the land holds a quiet, stubborn weight against the horizon. Below the crest, the moisture of the lowlands feeds the nearby Muddy Creek Wildlife Area, a sanctuary where the flora grows thick and undisturbed in the damp soil. Elk Creek winds through the periphery, its passage marked by the steady, unobserved movement of water across the soil, while the distant, jagged silhouette of The Hogback serves as a reminder of the broader, rugged geology that defines the periphery of this inland world.
Elk Mound maintains a rhythm dictated by the agricultural heritage of the Midwest, where the labor of the soil informs the daily pulse of the people. Generations have worked these fields and pastures, grounding the local economy in the persistent demands of dairy and crop production that characterize the surrounding acreage. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, punctuated by the seasonal shifts that color the leaves and alter the clarity of the light. Residents often look toward the quiet surface of Old Elk Lake, a body of water that mirrors the vast, open sky and provides a stillness that contrasts with the demands of modern industry. In the evenings, the glow from local kitchens suggests the comfort of a supper-club culture, where the traditions of the early settlers remain woven into the quiet, communal experience of the day.

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.
