How to Use This Rochester, Wisconsin Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Rochester, 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 Rochester.
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.

Rochester is located at 42.7329°N, 88.2503°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Rochester is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 53167.Rochester unfolds across a landscape of quiet, agrarian patience where the Fox River carves a steady, winding path through the heavy soil. It lies 5.1 miles north-northeast of Burlington, WI (from Burlington, WI: bearing 31°T), and is situated 1.6 miles south-southwest of Waterford. The light here catches the low-hanging horizon, illuminating fields that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Mount Tom, a solitary rise that anchors the view six miles to the west. Within the immediate basin of the river, the earth holds a cool, damp fertility, feeding the green edges of Pioneer Park where the air often carries the scent of turned loam and drying grasses. Only two miles to the northeast, the water gathers in the basin of Tichigan and Buena Lakes 359, mirroring the wide, pale sky of the inland plains in a stillness that persists long after the sun dips below the tree line.
Rochester carries the weight of a history built upon the steady labor of those who recognized the utility of the river for early milling and transport. The local economy persists in the rhythm of this agricultural legacy, where the cycle of the seasons dictates the ebb and flow of daily commerce more surely than any clock. On quiet evenings, the cultural character of the region emerges in the warmth of local gathering spots, where the tradition of the Friday fish fry remains a steadfast social anchor for those who call the area home. Life in Rochester moves with a deliberate, unhurried cadence, defined by the preservation of open land and the enduring connection between the people and the temperate, productive soil they cultivate.

About This Rochester Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rochester, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.732913, -88.250323. 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 Rochester includes the ZIP code (53167), telephone area code (608), county seat of Racine County (Racine), and school district assignment (Waterford Union High 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.
