Explore Foxboro, 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 Foxboro, 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 Foxboro.
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.

Foxboro emerges from the dense, quiet greenery of the northern landscape, defined primarily by the steady, dark current of State Line Creek as it carves a path through the low-lying terrain. It lies 17.7 miles south-southwest of Superior, WI (from Superior, WI: bearing 210°T), and is situated 17.4 miles south-southeast of Cloquet. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, sharpened by the proximity of the Nemadji State Forest, which pulls a deep, pine-scented chill across the horizon. Only two miles distant, the still, glassy surface of Summit Lake reflects the heavy gray clouds that frequently gather above the fields, while the Miscellaneous SRMA offers a stretch of untamed ground that shifts color from the pale yellow of late autumn grasses to the iron-rich bronze of winter. The land is not dramatic in its elevation, yet it possesses a deliberate, flat persistence that forces the gaze toward the horizon, where the distant silhouette of Elys Peak provides a faint, jagged anchor to an otherwise expansive sky.
Foxboro retains the lean, industrious character of a place built upon the labor of the timber and rail industries, its history etched into the weathered wood of older structures that stand against the prevailing winds. The local economy persists through a quiet dedication to agriculture and the small-scale commerce that sustains the residents, who move through their days with a measured, practical pace. On Friday evenings, the social gravity of the region pulls people toward the warm, wood-paneled interiors of local supper clubs, where the ritual of the fish fry serves as a communal anchor. Though the roar of the modern world feels distant, the echoes of the past remain in the architecture and the deliberate, unadorned way Foxboro greets the changing seasons, marked by the occasional traveler passing toward the deeper woods or the distant, rushing water of Little Manitou Falls.

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.
