How to Use This Sharon, Wisconsin Map

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

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.

Sharon rests upon a vast, fertile expanse of the Midwest where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered, defined by a landscape of cultivated fields and quiet, earth-toned plains. It lies 15.0 miles southwest of Elkhorn, WI (from Elkhorn, WI: bearing 219°T), and is situated 8.1 miles northwest of Harvard. The air here holds a crisp, continental clarity, carrying the scent of damp soil and drying stalks that signal the turn of the seasons across the open prairie. Nearby, the water of Little Turtle Creek winds through the low-lying terrain, its movement slow and deliberate as it carves a path through the dark, nutrient-rich loam. To the north, the distant profile of Mount Zion provides a subtle anchor for the eye, while the surrounding topography remains largely defined by the gentle, rhythmic swells of the regional farmland, far removed from any maritime influence.

History in Sharon remains rooted in the industrious spirit of early agricultural settlement, where the rhythm of the day is still dictated by the needs of the land and the changing light of the sun. The local economy persists as a quiet mosaic of dairy production and small-scale enterprise, reflecting a heritage shaped by generations of families who have worked this soil since the nineteenth century. Residents often look toward the regional expanse of Piscasaw Creek for a sense of natural solitude, or travel the short distance toward the broader waters of Delavan Lake when the summer heat settles heavy over the fields. Life in Sharon moves with a steady, predictable grace, anchored by the sturdy architecture of its older buildings and the persistent, unpretentious character of a place that finds its worth in the quiet labor of the seasons.

About This Sharon Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sharon, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.502516, -88.728993. 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 Sharon includes the ZIP code (53585), telephone area code (715), county seat of Walworth County (Elkhorn), and school district assignment (Sharon Joint No. 11 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.
