Explore Somerset, Wisconsin, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Somerset, 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 Somerset.
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.

Somerset occupies a quiet expanse of the upper Midwest, defined by the persistent, winding presence of the Apple River as it carves through the surrounding terrain. It lies 6.7 miles west of New Richmond, WI (from New Richmond, WI: bearing 271°T), and is situated 8.0 miles northeast of Stillwater. Sunlight filters through the canopy of Village Park, casting long, thin shadows across the grass where the local rhythm is dictated by the slow shift of seasons rather than the frantic pace of larger hubs. To the northeast, the elevation rises toward the prominence of Big Mound, a silent sentinel that watches over the flat, fertile stretches of farmland. Only three miles away, the rush of Apple River Falls provides a constant, low-frequency hum, a liquid percussion that punctuates the stillness of the woodland and the quietude of the nearby Riverdale Flowage.
Somerset retains the sturdy character of its early settlers, who built their lives on the strength of the soil and the proximity of the waterways. The local economy remains tethered to the land, reflecting a tradition of agriculture and craftsmanship that has matured over generations. Evenings often center on the warmth of local kitchens and the modest social life of the neighborhood, where the legacy of German and Scandinavian roots lingers in the straightforward, honest architecture of the houses. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned grace, where the work of the day concludes under an immense, darkening sky, and the community finds its continuity in the simple, shared habits of a landscape that demands both patience and respect.

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.
