Explore Florence, 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 Florence, 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 Florence.
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.

Florence emerges from the dense, verdant expanse of the North Woods where the landscape is defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Fisher Creek. It lies 55.7 miles north-northeast of Langlade, WI (from Langlade, WI: bearing 25°T), and is situated 11.4 miles northwest of Iron Mountain. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, carrying the scent of pine needles and damp moss from the nearby Iron Range State Forest. Fisher Lake rests at the center of the terrain, its surface acting as a dark, polished mirror for the shifting clouds that drift over the horizon toward the silhouette of Pine Mountain. Just a mile away, the Forest Legacy Program preserves a quiet stretch of land where the undergrowth thrives in undisturbed silence. When the light dips low in the afternoon, the shadows lengthen across the clearings, emphasizing the rugged, unadorned beauty of this inland terrain.
Florence maintains a character shaped by the legacy of the iron mining boom, a history that lingers in the sturdy architecture of the older streets and the enduring resilience of the people. The local economy, once tethered strictly to the extraction of ore and the bounty of the timber stands, now finds a slower, steadier pulse in regional services and the seasonal rhythm of those seeking the solace of the woods. Residents gather for the communal tradition of the Friday fish fry, a small ritual that anchors the week in shared, familiar flavors. Beyond the daily labor of the residents, the natural majesty of the region remains a constant, punctuated six miles away by the steady, rushing descent of Breakwater Falls. Life in Florence moves with the deliberate pace of a place that understands its own boundaries, content to exist in the quiet gaps between the trees.

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.
