How to Use This Pelican Lake, Wisconsin Map

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

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 Pelican Lake, Wisconsin

Pelican Lake is a locality in Oneida County, Wisconsin, United States. It is a small community with a population of 880. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Pelican Lake is located at 45.4994°N, 89.1668°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 54463.

Pelican Lake defines the horizon with a stillness that gathers in the hollows of the North Woods, where the air holds the scent of damp pine needles and cold, dark water. It lies 30.0 miles northwest of Langlade, WI (from Langlade, WI: bearing 316°T), and is situated 15.2 miles southeast of Rhinelander. The terrain here is defined by glacial remnants, a landscape of quiet depressions and dense timber that sits inland, far removed from the brine of any coast. A short distance away, the Pelican River carries the snowmelt through the lowlands, carving a path through the dense undergrowth and mossy banks that characterize the region. To the west, the distant Harrison Hills rise like a bruised spine against the sky, their muted summits visible only when the atmosphere clears after a rain. Those seeking the untamed expanse of the local wilderness often turn toward Statewide Public Access - Nw, where the density of the canopy swallows the sound of footsteps and leaves only the rustle of leaves in the heavy, still air.

Pelican Lake carries the weight of a history rooted in the timber industry, where the rhythmic thrum of saws once dictated the pace of life and cleared the way for the small, sturdy settlements that remain today. The local economy persists in a measured cadence, balancing the seasonal influx of visitors with the enduring traditions of the North Woods, where the evening light often catches the steam rising from a Friday fish fry. Life in Pelican Lake moves with the seasons, from the deep freeze of winter that locks the water beneath a slab of gray ice to the brief, fervent pulse of summer. The heritage of the area is found in the modest, weathered structures that have stood against the biting north wind, and in the quiet pride of a community that understands how to endure the long, quiet months of the year without complaint or haste.
