Explore Jim Falls, 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 Jim Falls, 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 Jim Falls.
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.

Jim Falls commands a quiet prominence where the Chippewa River broadens its reach, carving a deliberate path through the fertile, timber-rich expanse of north-central Wisconsin. It lies 1.8 miles south-southeast of Chippewa, WI (from Chippewa, WI: bearing 148°T), and is situated 9.5 miles northeast of Chippewa Falls. The landscape surrounding Jim Falls unfolds in a series of rhythmic, verdant swells, anchored by the expansive, reflective surface of Old Abe Lake 4891, which holds the sky in a mirror of deep, pale blue. Within the protected boundaries of Old Abe State Trail, the air carries a crisp, pine-scented clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the horizon, where the distant, hazy silhouette of Baldy Mountain rises as a silent sentinel against the encroaching dusk. The light here has a singular, amber quality, catching the movement of the water and the swaying grasses with a fleeting, golden intensity that renders the ordinary geography of the riverbank momentarily profound.
History in Jim Falls lingers in the structural bones of the local industry, which has long drawn its vitality from the powerful, relentless flow of the Chippewa River. The economy remains tethered to the land’s natural offerings, reflecting a heritage defined by the deliberate labor of generations who shaped the local timber and agricultural trades. Those who wander beyond the immediate vicinity might venture toward the Hay Meadow Trail, yet the character of Jim Falls itself is found in the steady, unassuming pace of daily life, where the influence of early European settlers persists in the quiet resilience of the local architecture and the communal traditions of the region. It is a place where the gravity of the past is not a burden, but a quiet foundation, supporting a present that moves with the slow, inevitable persistence of the water that defines its borders.

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.
