How to Use This Little Round Lake, Wisconsin Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Little Round Lake, 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 Little Round Lake.

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 Little Round Lake, Wisconsin

Little Round Lake is a locality in Sawyer County, Wisconsin, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,242. The population density is 53.3 people per km². Little Round Lake is located at 45.9650°N, 91.3679°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 54843.

Little Round Lake sits as a quiet basin of glacial origin, holding its clear, cold water amidst a landscape of dense, second-growth timber and stubborn, stony soil. It lies 13.8 miles northwest of Sawyer, WI (from Sawyer, WI: bearing 316°T), and is situated 6.5 miles east-southeast of Hayward. The terrain surrounding Little Round Lake reveals the heavy hand of ancient ice, creating a topography of kettle holes and moraines that keeps the horizon uneven and intimate. To the east, the stillness is broken only by the movement of Grindstone Creek, which winds through the damp lowlands, while the nearby Christner Lake mirrors the same overcast, slate-colored skies. On clear afternoons, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Hills creates a faint, serrated edge against the western sky, anchoring the view beyond the immediate reach of the pine and hardwood stands.

Economic life around Little Round Lake has long been tethered to the slow cycles of the North Woods, moving between seasonal timber harvests and the quiet stewardship of the land. The Grindstone Creek Fishery Area serves as a reminder of the region's commitment to preserving the cold-water habitats that sustain local life, drawing those who favor the solitude of the stream over more crowded pursuits. While the influence of Uhrenholdt Memorial State Forest keeps the surrounding acreage wild and untamed, the local culture remains defined by a modest, enduring resilience. Life here follows the long, darkening arc of the year, punctuated by the sharp beauty of autumn color and the inevitable, deep freeze that settles over the landscape long before the spring melt reaches Pipestone Falls.

About This Little Round Lake Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Little Round Lake, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 45.964954, -91.36795. 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 Little Round Lake includes the ZIP code (54843), telephone area code (715), county seat of Sawyer County (Hayward), and school district assignment (Hayward 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.
