Explore Gordon, 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 Gordon, 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 Gordon.
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.

Gordon occupies a quiet expanse of the North Woods where the Eau Claire River carves a dark, winding path through the pines and hardwoods. It lies 35.8 miles south-southeast of Superior, WI (from Superior, WI: bearing 156°T), and is situated 22.1 miles northwest of Hayward. The terrain unfolds in a series of wooded ridges and low-lying wetlands, creating a landscape that feels held in suspension by the stillness of the trees. Only a mile away, the Saint Croix Flowage mirrors the shifting gray and amber of the northern sky, its surface often undisturbed save for the ripple of an occasional paddler. The Wild Rivers State Trail cuts directly through the heart of Gordon, serving as a primary artery for those moving through the brush on foot or by machine, tracing the old corridors of a region defined by its deep, earthen silence.
History remains etched into the local life of Gordon, where the early pulse of the logging industry eventually gave way to the steady, slower rhythms of a woodland economy. The character of the place is shaped by the traditions of those who arrived to work the timber and manage the vast, forested reaches, leaving behind a culture that values self-reliance and the simple comforts of a Friday night supper club. Residents move with a deliberate pace, finding their routines dictated by the turning seasons rather than the urgent demands of distant urban centers. Here, the legacy of the land is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring way the community organizes itself around the river and the trail, maintaining a quiet continuity that persists long after the saws have fallen silent.

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.
