Explore Gresham, 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 Gresham, 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 Gresham.
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.

Gresham rises from the low, verdant swells of the Wisconsin landscape, where the Red River carves a deliberate path through the earth. It lies 23.4 miles south of Langlade, WI (from Langlade, WI: bearing 187°T), and is situated 10.1 miles west-northwest of Shawano.
The waters of Upper Red Lake shimmer with a stillness that mirrors the quiet industry of the surrounding woods, while the nearby Gresham Station offers a sanctuary of uncultivated quietude. Just three miles away, Freeman Falls spills over ancient stone, its constant, rhythmic descent providing a steady cadence to the changing seasons. The air here carries the scent of damp loam and pine, a persistent reminder of the dense timber that once defined the horizon. In the amber glow of late afternoon, the light catches the surface of the river, turning the moving water into a ribbon of hammered silver that winds past the edge of the woodland.
Gresham maintains a character forged by the steady persistence of those who worked the mills and the soil, establishing a legacy that remains visible in the modest architecture of its core. The local economy finds its roots in the intersection of agriculture and the timber trade, reflecting a history of German and Polish settlers who recognized the potential in the fertile, inland plains. Life in Gresham proceeds with a deliberate grace, marked by the simple rituals of a Friday evening supper club and the seasonal shifts of the regional harvest. It is a place where the past is not a museum piece but a living rhythm, felt in the way the morning mist clings to the fields and the way the community gathers to watch the shadows lengthen across the valley floor.

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.
