How to Use This Salem, Wisconsin Map

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

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 Salem, Wisconsin

Salem is a locality in Pierce County, Wisconsin, United States. Salem is located at 44.6230°N, 92.3574°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 54750, 53168.

Salem occupies a quiet expanse of the landscape where the earth rises into the rugged, unglaciated folds of Warrentown Ridge. It lies 21.0 miles southeast of River Falls, WI (from River Falls, WI: bearing 141°T), and is situated 9.6 miles east-northeast of Red Wing. The terrain around Salem is defined by the deep, shadowed creases of Bremenington Coulee, which channels the runoff of seasonal rains toward the Rush River just a mile away. Three miles distant, the expansive waters of Lake Pepin exert a subtle influence on the local climate, tempering the dry air that sweeps across the open fields. In the distance, the horizon is anchored by the silhouettes of the Richard J Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest, where the ancient, dense timber provides a stark contrast to the cleared, productive acreage of the surrounding plains.

Economic life in Salem remains tethered to the rhythmic cycles of agriculture and the hard-won yields of the soil, reflecting the heritage of settlers who first broke the prairie sod. The cultural pulse of the region is felt in the steady, unassuming pace of the day, where the traditions of German and Scandinavian forebears remain visible in the sturdy craftsmanship of the local architecture and the communal focus of the Natural Area. Visitors and residents alike find a shared stillness in the landscape, a quality of light at dusk that turns the gray-green grasses into shimmering bronze before the night settles over the valley. Whether tending to the land or gathering for the evening, the people of Salem maintain a connection to the quiet gravity of the interior, far removed from the frantic pace of the wider world.

About This Salem Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Salem, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 44.623023, -92.357406. 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 Salem includes the ZIP code (54750, 53168), telephone area code (715, 608), county seat of Pierce County (Ellsworth), 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.
