How to Use This Fontana, Wisconsin Map

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

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.

Fontana emerges from the landscape where the crystalline waters of Lake Geneva meet the verdant, glacial contours of the surrounding terrain. It lies 8.5 miles south of Elkhorn, WI (from Elkhorn, WI: bearing 191°T), and is situated 9.1 miles north-northeast of Harvard. The Van Slyke Creek meanders through this topography, its steady movement providing a quiet cadence to the land, while the grounds of Pioneer Park offer a preserved space where the earth feels ancient and deliberate. In the golden hour, the light catches the moisture rising from the low-lying hollows, casting long, bruised shadows across the fields that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Camelback Kame. The air here holds a distinct, crisp weight, flavored by the damp earth and the dense canopy of hardwoods that define the inland horizon.

History in Fontana is measured not by grand monuments, but by the slow accumulation of generations who recognized the value of these fertile, sheltered slopes. The local economy persists as a quiet synthesis of seasonal hospitality and the enduring traditions of the Midwest, where the Friday fish fry remains a social anchor, drawing people together in rooms warmed by wood paneling and communal memory. Life moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, honoring the legacy of the settlers who worked these fields long before the modern era smoothed the edges of the grid. Visitors and residents alike find themselves caught in a rhythm dictated by the lake and the creek, a persistent, unpretentious flow that defines the character of Fontana as much as the soil beneath its streets.

About This Fontana Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fontana, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.551406, -88.575101. 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 Fontana includes the ZIP code (53125), telephone area code (608), county seat of Walworth County (Elkhorn), and school district assignment.

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.
