How to Use This Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lake Nebagamon, 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 Nebagamon.
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.

ZIP code: 54849.Lake Nebagamon holds the morning light in a stillness that seems to suspend the surrounding woods in a pale, silver-green amber. It lies 23.9 miles southeast of Superior, WI (from Superior, WI: bearing 126°T), and is situated 26.8 miles southeast of Duluth. Nebagamon Creek winds through the low-lying terrain, its dark, cedar-stained waters carving a quiet path toward the basin where the lake gathers its depth. To the south, the landscape rises toward the modest prominence of Sugar Camp Hill, while the dense, coniferous expanse of the Brule River State Forest looms six miles away, casting long, violet shadows across the fields as the sun dips low. The air here possesses a crisp, pine-scented clarity, cooling rapidly at dusk and settling into the hollows with a damp, earthen weight that defines the character of this northern basin.
Historical echoes of the timber era linger in the architecture of Lake Nebagamon, where the legacy of early logging camps informs the modest, enduring spirit of the local economy. Beyond the timber-framed memories of the past, the rhythm of life centers on the seasonal shifts of the North Woods, where residents find recreation at Botten's Green Acres Golf Course or gather to share a Friday fish fry in the quiet warmth of a supper-club booth. This is a region of Scandinavian and German roots, where the pace is dictated by the steady, unpretentious labor of the inland plains. The community moves with a deliberate, measured grace, finding continuity in the unchanging flow of the creek and the recurring, deep-freeze winters that define the cycle of the year.

About This Lake Nebagamon Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 46.497748, -91.704353. 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 Lake Nebagamon includes the ZIP code (54849), telephone area code (715), county seat of Douglas County (Superior), and school district assignment (Maple 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.
