Explore Lake Arrowhead, 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 Lake Arrowhead, 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 Lake Arrowhead.
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.

Lake Arrowhead defines its character through the insistent, winding path of Fourteenmile Creek, which carves a quiet corridor through the dense woodland and sandy soil of the region. It lies 12.7 miles south of Wisconsin Rapids, WI (from Wisconsin Rapids, WI: bearing 181°T), and is situated 8.7 miles south-southeast of Nekoosa. This landscape is a mosaic of pine stands and low-lying brush, where the elevation rises toward the modest, rounded silhouette of Dorra Cooshe Mountain three miles to the east. During the autumn, the light here turns a brittle, pale gold, illuminating the needles that carpet the forest floor and casting long, thin shadows across the earth. Only three miles away, the expansive waters of Petenwell Lake dictate the local hydrology, acting as a gathering point for the moisture that settles over the fields in the heavy, silver-gray mists of early morning.
Lake Arrowhead functions as a deliberate retreat, shaped by a history of land development that prioritized leisure and the quiet enjoyment of the inland woods. The local economy revolves around this recreational identity, supported by the proximity of Lake Camelot Public Access, which serves as a vital threshold for those seeking to immerse themselves in the surrounding flora and fauna. Residents and visitors carry on the traditions of the broader region, favoring the steady, predictable pace of life that persists long after the brief summer season fades. In the evenings, the cultural rhythm slows to match the stillness of the trees, reflecting a heritage of self-reliance and a quiet respect for the thin, sandy soil that has sustained generations of settlers in this corner of the interior.

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.
