Explore Evansville, 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 Evansville, 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 Evansville.
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.

Evansville occupies a quiet expanse of the interior plains where the landscape settles into a measured, fertile rhythm. It lies 10.3 miles south-southwest of Stoughton, WI (from Stoughton, WI: bearing 204°T), and is situated 15.8 miles west-northwest of Janesville. Allen Creek carves a deliberate path through the terrain, its banks offering a cool retreat from the sun that lingers over the open fields. Lake Leota sits at the center of the local geography, providing a reflective surface that catches the shifting colors of the sky at dusk. The horizon remains wide and unobstructed, though on clear days, one might imagine the distant silhouette of the Big Hill Savanna rising against the pale blue. This land possesses a stillness that invites the eye to trace the subtle lines of the horizon, where the earth meets the sky in a soft, muted embrace.
Evansville traces its origins to the mid-nineteenth century, rooted in the steady development of the regional agricultural economy. Early settlers recognized the value of the surrounding soil, which remains a primary contributor to the prosperity of the region today. While small-scale manufacturing and local commerce have diversified the economic landscape, the influence of the surrounding farmland continues to define the character of the work performed here. The pace of daily life is dictated by the turning of the seasons, a cycle that has supported the growth of the local economy since the earliest days of the settlement. Residents maintain a practical approach to industry, balancing tradition with the evolving needs of a changing workforce.
Evansville preserves its cultural identity through a collection of well-preserved historic architecture that lines the streets and defines the center of the village. Leonard-Leota Park serves as a gathering space for residents, hosting communal events that bring a sense of continuity to the changing seasons. The local atmosphere is marked by a quiet sincerity, where the social life of the people is often centered on shared public spaces and regional gatherings. While the influence of Fisher Valley lies beyond the immediate view, the geography of the surrounding area encourages a deep connection to the land and its history. The town remains a place where the quiet weight of the past informs the present, ensuring that the legacy of those who built this place endures in the daily habits of its people.

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.
