Explore Lac La Belle, 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 Lac La Belle, 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 Lac La Belle.
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.

Lac La Belle defines the landscape with its expansive, glacial-fed waters that mirror the shifting temperaments of the Midwestern sky. It lies 2.7 miles northwest of Oconomowoc, WI (from Oconomowoc, WI: bearing 325°T), and is situated 9.9 miles west-northwest of Hartland. The surrounding terrain reveals the legacy of ancient ice sheets, marked by low, rhythmic swells in the earth that rise toward the distant silhouette of Lapham Hill. A quiet intensity permeates the air here, particularly in the late afternoon when the light thins into a pale, translucent amber, casting long shadows across the fields that stretch toward the Rock River. Nearby, the Delafield State Habitat Area preserves a fragment of the wild prairie and woodland, serving as a sanctuary where the flora remains undisturbed by the slow, deliberate pulse of the surrounding development.
Lac La Belle grew from the industrious spirit of settlers who recognized the fertility of the soil and the potential of the water to sustain a quiet, prosperous life. The local economy persists as a blend of refined residential living and an appreciation for the land’s natural capacity, moving at a pace dictated more by the turning seasons than the frantic ticking of a clock. Residents often gather in the evenings to share meals that reflect the regional appetite for hearty, traditional fare, a custom that persists as a social anchor in the cooler months. The community maintains a steady, reserved character, deeply connected to the geography that separates it from the bustle of larger centers, favoring instead the grounded reality of a life lived close to the water and the woods.

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.
