How to Use This Footville, Wisconsin Map

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

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.

The landscape surrounding Footville is defined by the slow drift of the land, where expansive fields shift in color from the pale green of spring shoots to the heavy, golden stalks of harvest. A soft, amber light lingers over the acreage as the sun dips low, illuminating the moisture in the air that clings to the low-lying meadows near the water. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the land holds a stillness that suggests an ancient, patient geology, far removed from the bustle of the distant coastline. Those seeking the wilder edges of the terrain often look toward the Footville Wildlife Area, where the grasses and brush provide a sanctuary for local fauna, standing in quiet contrast to the structured rows of nearby cultivated land.

History in Footville remains tied to the cycles of the soil and the legacy of families who first broke the prairie to build a life on the high ground. The local economy maintains a steady, industrious pulse, anchored by the rhythms of agriculture and the small-scale commerce that keeps the main thoroughfare functional and familiar. Life here is measured in the passage of seasons, from the deep, muffled silence of winter snows to the humid, insect-humming warmth of summer evenings. On quiet nights, the air carries a distinct, earthy scent of damp loam and cooling pavement, a reminder of the proximity to the water and the open expanse of the surrounding fields. It is a place where the demands of the modern day are balanced against the enduring persistence of a rural pace, ensuring that the character of Footville remains grounded in the tangible reality of the earth itself.

About This Footville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Footville, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.670842, -89.209004. 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 Footville includes the ZIP code (53537, 53548), telephone area code (715), county seat of Rock County (Janesville), and school district assignment (Parkview 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.
