How to Use This Jump River, Wisconsin Map

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

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.

Jump River is a locality in Taylor County, Wisconsin, United States. It is a small community with a population of 53. The population density is 55.0 people per km². Jump River is located at 45.3530°N, 90.8012°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 54766, 54434.

Jump River anchors itself amidst a landscape of dense timber and expansive, shadowed woodlands where the namesake Jump River carves a winding path through the heavy soil. It lies 23.4 miles north-northwest of Clark, WI (from Clark, WI: bearing 343°T), and is situated 16.5 miles east-southeast of Ladysmith. The air here holds a crisp, earthen stillness, particularly as the low afternoon light filters through the canopy to illuminate the moss-covered stones along the riverbank. To the north, the distant outline of Flambeau Ridge breaks the horizon, a silent, jagged reminder of the ancient geology that defines this rugged corner of the state. Those seeking the quietude of the wild often venture toward the nearby Pershing Wildlife Area, where the terrain shifts into a mosaic of wetlands and thick brush, or toward the glassy, undisturbed surface of Monson Flowage, which mirrors the vast Wisconsin sky in a display of deepening gray and indigo.

Economic life in Jump River remains tethered to the rhythms of the land, shaped by a history of logging and the enduring presence of small-scale agriculture that persists on the cleared patches between the pines. The local character is defined by a stoic resilience, a quiet persistence that manifests in the orderly maintenance of weathered barns and the modest, sturdy homes that line the lanes. Friday evenings often find the community gravitating toward the warmth of local gathering spots, where the tradition of the fish fry persists as a social anchor in the long, cold cycles of the year. Life here moves with a deliberate, unforced pace, mirroring the slow, steady current of the water that gives the place its name and sustains the quiet vitality of its people.

About This Jump River Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Jump River, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 45.353027, -90.801248. 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 Jump River includes the ZIP code (54766, 54434), telephone area code (715), county seat of Taylor County (Medford), and school district assignment (Gilman 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.
