Explore Montello, 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 Montello, 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 Montello.
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.

Montello anchors a landscape where the Montello River carves a deliberate path through the earth, feeding the quiet expanse of Lake Montello. It lies 14.1 miles east-northeast of Douglas, WI (from Douglas, WI: bearing 62°T), and is situated 18.8 miles north-northeast of Portage. The terrain unfolds in a series of subtle, glacial ridges that soften the horizon, while the elevated silhouette of Observatory Hill remains a constant, silent presence to the west. Air here holds a certain crispness, particularly as the low-slung sun at dusk illuminates the fields with a pale, amber clarity that seems to suspend the day in amber. Between the stretches of woodland and the Andrew Krakow Public Access And Fishery Area, the land breathes with a slow, steady pulse, defined by the interplay of water and the stubborn, fertile soil that characterizes this interior region.
Granite once defined the economic vitality of Montello, as the deep, rose-colored stone quarried from the local bedrock found its way into foundations and monuments far beyond these borders. This history of industry lingers in the character of the streets, where the architecture reflects a heritage of industrious, practical craftsmanship brought by those who settled the valley. Today, the pace of life follows the seasonal shifts of the Midwest, where the hum of agricultural activity dictates the rhythm of the weeks. On quiet afternoons, the local spirit is visible in the deliberate care taken with the storefronts and the steady, unpretentious flow of life that persists, unaffected by the clamor of larger centers, maintaining a quiet dignity in its isolation.

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.
