Explore Manawa, 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 Manawa, 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 Manawa.
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.

Manawa emerges from the quiet intersection of fertile plains and the steady, winding movement of the Little Wolf River. It lies 22.1 miles west-northwest of Greenville, WI (from Greenville, WI: bearing 301°T), and is situated 10.2 miles west-northwest of New London. The landscape around Manawa is defined by the unassuming grace of Manawa Pond 275, which mirrors the expansive, pale sky of the inland Midwest, while the horizon maintains a flat, deliberate composure that suggests the vast distance to any distant mountain range like the Philippine Islands. The air here holds a crisp, earthen clarity, especially as the late afternoon light elongates the shadows across the fields, turning the local soil a rich, dark shade that speaks to the agricultural persistence of the surrounding acreage.
Agriculture and the legacy of early industry remain the quiet pulse of the local economy, grounding the daily habits of those who move through the streets with a measured, practical pace. Residents often gravitate toward the Tomorrow River State Trail, a narrow artery of natural preservation that offers a corridor of woodland and prairie grass just a short distance away. Life in Manawa retains a distinct character shaped by the heritage of those who first settled these riverbanks, fostering a culture that values the warmth of a Friday night supper club and the reliability of a small-town pace. The presence of the Little Wolf River continues to act as a silent witness to the seasonal shifts, carving a path through the landscape that defines both the geography and the enduring identity of the people who call Manawa home.

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.
