Explore Rewey, 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 Rewey, 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 Rewey.
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.

Rewey claims its place upon the unglaciated terrain of the Driftless region, where the Williams-Rewey Branch carves a narrow, persistent path through the earth. It lies 8.6 miles north-northeast of Platteville, WI (from Platteville, WI: bearing 29°T), and is situated 15.8 miles east-southeast of Grant. The landscape surrounding Rewey is defined by a rigorous topography of steep ridges and deep, shadowed coulees that define the horizon, with the heights of the Platte Mounds rising five miles to the south like silent sentinels. Here, the air carries a crisp, mineral edge, and the light at dusk settles in long, bruised purple bands across the pastures, emphasizing the stark verticality of the land. Two miles away, the Headwaters Little Platte River State Habitat Area preserves the damp, quiet wildness of the watershed, grounding the perimeter of the locality in a persistent, quiet growth of native grasses and scrub.
Settlement in Rewey emerged from the industry of the lead mining era, though the pulse of the place eventually slowed to the steady, seasonal cadence of the surrounding dairy and corn-fed economy. The history of the locality remains anchored in the remnants of its rail-era architecture, where small-scale commerce once flourished to serve the farmers who worked the rugged soil. While the distant, serene waters of Black Hawk Lake lie thirteen miles away, the daily life of Rewey remains tethered to the immediate, intimate geography of the creek and the high, wind-swept fields. It is a place where the passage of time is measured not by grand events, but by the slow rotation of the seasons and the enduring, stoic character of a population accustomed to the demands of a vertical, unyielding landscape.

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.
