Explore Richland, 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 Richland, 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 Richland.
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.

Richland emerges from the landscape as a quiet intersection of earth and sky, defined by the deep, unglaciated folds of the surrounding terrain. It lies 20.6 miles west-southwest of Reedsburg, WI (from Reedsburg, WI: bearing 245°T), and is situated 5.0 miles north of Richland Center. The Pine River carves a path just one mile away, its current pulling softly against the banks as it winds through the valley. Nearby, the contours of Steamboat Hollow offer a sheltered reprieve from the open, expansive fields that stretch toward the horizon. Three miles distant, the silhouette of Hulster Ridge rises against the dusk, casting long, violet shadows across the fields as the light begins to thin. The .36 Reservoir sits four miles out, a still, contained expanse of water that mirrors the transition of the seasons in its glassy surface.
Richland carries the weight of a long agricultural tradition, where the soil has dictated the pace of life for generations. Local industry remains tied to the fertility of the land, with dairy production and specialized manufacturing forming the backbone of the economy. The rhythm of the work day is punctuated by the steady movement of machinery and the arrival of heavy trucks traveling from the surrounding rural routes. Historical development here was measured in the clearing of timber and the slow, deliberate cultivation of the fertile prairie. Commerce in Richland reflects a pragmatic endurance, favoring a steady, quiet productivity over the volatile shifts of more modern, urban centers. Rem-Pine River-Yuba serves as a reminder of the wilder, uncultivated edges that remain just one mile away from the center of daily business.
Cultural life in Richland finds its expression in the modest, hardworking character of the people who have made this region their own. Traditions here are quiet, often centered around the shared tables of local gatherings where the conversation turns to the weather or the state of the harvest. Visitors often find themselves drawn to the Rem-Pine River-Yuba for the stillness it offers, a stark contrast to the industrious output of the manufacturing sector. While the pace of life is deliberate, the community maintains a fierce pride in its identity, grounded in the realities of the Midwest. Famous figures like the actor David Dastmalchian, who grew up in the area, reflect the diverse paths that lead away from these fields toward the wider world. Richland remains a place where the air is cool and the horizon is wide, inviting a slower, more contemplative way of living.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Richland, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 43.40605, -90.374835. 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 Richland includes the ZIP code (53581), telephone area code (715), county seat of Richland County (Richland Center), and school district assignment.
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.
