How to Use This Lancaster, Wisconsin Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lancaster, 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 Lancaster.
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: 53813.Lancaster anchors itself amidst the unglaciated terrain of the Driftless region, where the earth rises and falls in long, rhythmic swells of limestone and deep, nutrient-rich soil. It lies 6.6 miles south-southwest of Grant, WI (from Grant, WI: bearing 195°T), and is situated 9.8 miles south-southwest of Fennimore. The landscape surrounding Lancaster is defined by the sharp, verdant relief of the countryside, where the persistent trickle of Day Branch carves a quiet path through the nearby meadows. To the east, the distant, hazy silhouette of Liberty Ridge breaks the horizon, while the expansive, open fields of Boice Prairie stretch toward the sky, catching the amber light of late afternoon. Within the town limits, Ryland Park offers a patch of maintained green where the shadows lengthen slowly across the grass, reflecting a stillness that defines the inland character of this geography.
Agriculture has long served as the primary pulse of Lancaster, grounding the economy in the heavy, productive labor of dairy farming and the cultivation of corn and soybeans. The streets of Lancaster retain a deliberate pace, punctuated by the architecture of a nineteenth-century county seat that grew alongside the prosperity of the surrounding fields. Local life moves in concert with the seasons, from the quiet intensity of planting to the community gatherings that sustain the spirit of this place. Even as modern industry touches the margins, the town maintains a specific, enduring identity shaped by its isolation from any coastline and its deep, ancestral connection to the rugged, inland hills.

About This Lancaster Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lancaster, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.84749, -90.710682. 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 Lancaster includes the ZIP code (53813), telephone area code (920), county seat of Grant County (Lancaster), and school district assignment (Lancaster Community 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.
