How to Use This New Munster, Wisconsin Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for New Munster, 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 New Munster.
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 New Munster, Wisconsin
New Munster is a locality in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, United States. It is a small community with a population of 286. The population density is 93.7 people per km². New Munster is located at 42.5795°N, 88.2279°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 53105, 53152.New Munster occupies a quiet stretch of the southeastern Wisconsin landscape where the earth settles into a slow, deliberate cadence of fields and wetlands. It lies 6.2 miles west-northwest of Salem, WI (from Salem, WI: bearing 286°T), and is situated 9.8 miles northwest of Antioch. New Munster Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the terrain, its waters threading between the tall grasses and sedge meadows of the New Munster Wildlife Area that encompasses the surrounding expanse. To the west, the subtle rise of Mount Moriah interrupts the horizon, while the proximity of Lilly Lake provides a singular, reflective anchor for the low-lying plains. The air here holds a distinct, cooling weight during the late autumn months, carrying the scent of damp soil and the dry, brittle rustle of cornstalks left to weather the coming frost.
Settlers of German and Polish descent arrived here to break the heavy loam, establishing a regional character defined by the endurance of small-scale agriculture and a steady, pragmatic pace of life. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the land, where the labor of the dairy farm and the seasonal cycle of the harvest dictate the tempo of the day. New Munster retains a somber, grounded aesthetic, marked by the simple geometry of silos against a gray, expansive sky and the modest architecture of rural life. On quiet evenings, the silence of the open fields is broken only by the distant hum of machinery or the shifting of wind through the brush, leaving the impression of a place that exists entirely for its own sake, apart from the hurried migrations of the modern world.

About This New Munster Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of New Munster, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.579462, -88.227868. 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 New Munster includes the ZIP code (53105, 53152), telephone area code (608), county seat of Kenosha County (Kenosha), and school district assignment (Westosha Central High 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.
