How to Use This Odanah, Wisconsin Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Odanah, 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 Odanah.

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 Odanah, Wisconsin

Odanah is a locality in Ashland County, Wisconsin, United States. It is a small community with a population of 47. The population density is 6.9 people per km². Odanah is located at 46.5941°N, 90.6780°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 54806, 54861.

Odanah claims its place upon the verdant, low-lying plains where the Bad River winds through the landscape like a slow, dark ribbon of liquid earth. It lies 58.8 miles north-northeast of Sawyer, WI (from Sawyer, WI: bearing 22°T), and is situated 8.9 miles east of Ashland. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, carrying the scent of damp soil and thick timber that defines the North Woods. Toward the northern horizon, the elevation rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Mount Ashwabay, while the terrestrial stillness is frequently broken only by the rhythmic pulse of the river against its banks. Two miles to the north, the Bad River Slough creates a quiet mosaic of marsh and water, serving as a sanctuary for migratory birds and an anchor for the local ecology. The light at dusk here possesses a particular, bruised quality, turning the woodland shadows into deep pools of indigo that seem to hold the history of the terrain in their silence.

Odanah serves as the administrative and cultural heart of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, its identity deeply rooted in a sovereign history that predates the arrival of modern industry. The economy remains tethered to the land and the stewardship of the surrounding environment, with the proximity of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore acting as a reminder of the vast, protected wilderness that frames the region. Life in Odanah moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, favoring the quiet continuity of community gatherings and the seasonal shifts of the forest over the frantic pace of larger centers. While the industrial fervor of the region’s past has faded, the influence of the Ojibwe culture remains the defining thread of the locality, visible in the traditional craft, the respect for the river’s path, and the enduring resilience of the people who call this place home.

About This Odanah Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Odanah, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 46.594079, -90.677951. 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 Odanah includes the ZIP code (54806, 54861), telephone area code (715), county seat of Ashland County (Ashland), and school district assignment (Ashland 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.
