How to Use This Silver Lake, Wisconsin Map

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

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 Silver Lake, Wisconsin

Silver Lake is a locality in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,400. The population density is 280.0 people per km². Silver Lake is located at 44.0553°N, 89.2262°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 54982, 53170.

Silver Lake reveals itself through a landscape defined by the deliberate, steady movement of the Fox River as it carves a path through the flat, fertile earth. It lies 2.8 miles west-southwest of Salem, WI (from Salem, WI: bearing 258°T), and is situated 5.9 miles northwest of Antioch. Sunlight catches the surface of Silver Lake, turning the water into a sheet of polished pewter that anchors the surrounding expanse of farmland. To the west, the subtle rise of Gander Mountain breaks the horizon, a distant sentinel watching over the fields where the air remains crisp and carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil. Within the quiet perimeter of Schmalfeldt Park, the grass grows thick and unmanicured, offering a place where the stillness of the afternoon is broken only by the low hum of insects or the occasional rustle of wind through the tall, inland grasses.

History in Silver Lake settles into the grain of the architecture, reflecting the industrious spirit of generations who arrived from northern Europe to cultivate this heavy, productive soil. The local economy persists with a quiet tenacity, balancing the legacy of dairy production with the shifting demands of modern commerce, often punctuated by the evening ritual of a Friday fish fry at a neighborhood establishment. Life here moves with a measured pace, far removed from the frantic acceleration of larger urban centers, prioritizing the endurance of community ties and the simple satisfaction of a day spent working the land. Even as the decades turn, the connection to the Fox River and the presence of the water remain the central threads binding the daily experience of everyone who calls Silver Lake home.

About This Silver Lake Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Silver Lake, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 44.055256, -89.22623. 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 Silver Lake includes the ZIP code (54982, 53170), telephone area code (715, 608), county seat of Kenosha County (Kenosha), 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.
