How to Use This Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac du Flambeau, 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 du Flambeau.

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.

About Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin

Lac du Flambeau is a locality in Vilas County, Wisconsin, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,845. The population density is 144.0 people per km². Lac du Flambeau is located at 45.9697°N, 89.8921°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 54538.

Lac du Flambeau occupies a basin of glacial patience, where the dark, cool water of Long Interlaken Lake mirrors a sky that shifts from bruised violet to ink as the sun retreats behind the pines. It lies 62.2 miles east of Sawyer, WI (from Sawyer, WI: bearing 80°T), and is situated 11.5 miles west-northwest of Arbor Vitae. The terrain is a mosaic of dense, towering timber and peat-rich soil that holds the memory of ancient ice, creating a landscape defined by its quiet humidity and the persistent scent of damp needles. A mile away, the Bear River carves a slow, deliberate path through the underbrush, its current steady and unassuming as it feeds the intricate network of wetlands that define the local topography. The air here carries a heavy, terrestrial weight, devoid of any salt-borne breeze, instead tasting of cedar, resin, and the slow decay of autumn leaves that carpet the forest floor in shades of copper and rust.

Lac du Flambeau remains defined by the enduring presence of the Ojibwe people, whose heritage informs the pace and purpose of the region far beyond the seasonal influx of visitors. The local economy pulses with a blend of tradition and modern enterprise, where the influence of the tribe shapes everything from land stewardship to the quiet, steady commerce of the village. For those seeking the solitude of the outdoors, the Big Crawling Stone Public Access provides a gateway to the water, while the vast Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest sprawls across the horizon fifteen miles away, offering a vast, untamed buffer against the encroaching speed of the modern world. Life here moves with the deliberate cadence of the changing seasons, marked by the simple, enduring ritual of the Friday fish fry and the way the light catches the surface of the water, turning the late afternoon into a shimmering, metallic expanse.
