Explore Mauston, 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 Mauston, 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 Mauston.
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.

Mauston occupies a quiet expanse of the landscape where the Lemonweir River carves a slow, deliberate path through the earth. It lies 18.7 miles north-northwest of Reedsburg, WI (from Reedsburg, WI: bearing 348°T), and is situated 7.2 miles southeast of New Lisbon. The water flows past the verdant borders of Riverside Park, providing a constant, low-voiced accompaniment to the stillness of the afternoon. Beyond the riverbanks, the terrain rises into the modest, steady slopes of Ryder Ridge, which marks the horizon with a dark, pine-shadowed silhouette. Further out, the land settles into the quietude of Cattail Valley, where the light at dusk catches the tall, dry stalks and turns the fields into a wash of pale gold and muted bronze. The air here holds a crisp, earthen clarity, unburdened by the clamor of wider worlds, and the proximity of Decorah Lake ensures that the atmosphere remains tempered and cool, even as the sun climbs to its zenith.
Mauston preserves a character forged by the steady persistence of those who first settled these river-threaded plains to harness the power of the water and the fertility of the soil. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the land, reflecting a legacy of agriculture and small-scale industry that has defined the region for generations. On quiet evenings, the influence of the area’s heritage emerges in the simple, enduring traditions of the local supper clubs, where the communal ritual of a Friday dinner remains a staple of social life. Everyday existence moves with a measured, deliberate pace, dictated more by the turning of the seasons and the cycle of harvest than by the frantic demands of the clock. It is a place where the history of the frontier remains visible in the sturdy, unadorned architecture of the center, standing as a quiet record of a community that values its own steady, internal gravity.

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.
