How to Use This Rome, Wisconsin Map

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

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 Rome, Wisconsin

Rome is a locality in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, United States. It is a small community with a population of 752. The population density is 78.3 people per km². Rome is located at 42.9853°N, 88.6499°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 53178, 54457, 53137.

Rome anchors itself within a landscape defined by the steady, quiet passage of the Bark River, which meanders through the terrain with a persistence that shapes the local rhythm. It lies 11.0 miles east-northeast of Fort Atkinson, WI (from Fort Atkinson, WI: bearing 71°T), and is situated 9.1 miles east of Jefferson. The geography here favors a flat to subtly uneven expanse, where the earth holds a dark, fertile quality conducive to the dense woodlands and agricultural plots that define the horizon. Rome Pond provides a still, reflective center to the landscape, its edges often softened by the reeds and marshy grasses that characterize the Rome Pond Wildlife Area. On clear afternoons, the light catches the water with a pale, silver clarity, illuminating the modest undulations of the ground that lead the eye toward the distant rise of Lapham Hill.

Agriculture remains the quiet pulse of the economy, a legacy of the settlers who cleared these woods to establish the dairy farms that still mark the surrounding countryside. The cultural character of Rome reflects the industrious spirit of those who arrived to work the soil, maintaining a pace of life that values the seasonal shift from the deep, quiet cold of winter to the humid, green urgency of summer. Life follows a predictable, grounded pattern, where the work of the day gives way to the simple social rituals of the evening. Even as the modern world encroaches, the presence of the Bark River and the preserved stillness of the Rome Pond Wildlife Area ensure that the fundamental character of Rome stays tethered to the land and the sky.

About This Rome Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rome, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.985323, -88.649857. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
