Explore Richfield, 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 Richfield, 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 Richfield.
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.

Richfield maintains a quiet presence upon the landscape, defined by its proximity to the expansive waters of Bark Lake. It lies 4.6 miles west-northwest of Germantown, WI (from Germantown, WI: bearing 294°T), and is situated 4.9 miles south-southeast of Polk. The terrain surrounding Richfield consists of glacial remnants that create a subtle, uneven topography, providing a stark contrast to the flatter plains found further south. During the twilight hours, the low sun casts long shadows across the fields that stretch toward the Oconomowoc River, which winds its way through the nearby countryside. Residents often find solace in the open spaces of Homestead Hollow County Park, where the natural environment remains largely undisturbed by the pace of modern expansion. To the north, the distant rise of Holy Hill marks the horizon, serving as a silent, permanent anchor for the local view.
Agriculture once served as the primary engine for Richfield, establishing a foundation of self-reliance that persists in the regional work ethic today. Early settlers recognized the potential of the fertile soil, turning the land into a productive center for dairy farming and diverse crop cultivation. As the economy transitioned, Richfield adapted by diversifying its industrial base, attracting small-scale manufacturing and service-oriented businesses that now support the local workforce. The influence of early European immigrants remains evident in the sturdy architecture and the pragmatic approach to civic growth that characterizes the area. Even as the regional economy modernizes, the legacy of these foundational industries continues to shape the daily life and economic development of the people.
Richfield fosters a cultural character defined by a deliberate, measured pace that values neighborly connection over rapid transformation. Local gatherings often center around traditions that honor the heritage of the region, where the communal spirit is expressed through seasonal events and shared public spaces. While the area is largely defined by its quiet, rural identity, the presence of landmarks like Holy Hill offers a spiritual and architectural focal point that draws visitors from across the region. Those who live in Richfield appreciate the access to the broader natural beauty of the state, including the proximity to the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which provides a vast expanse for outdoor recreation. Life here is defined by an understated stability, where the rhythm of the changing seasons dictates the flow of activity more than the demands of the outside world.

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.
