Explore Sturtevant, 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 Sturtevant, 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 Sturtevant.
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.

Sturtevant exists as a quiet anchor upon the broad, flat plains of southeastern Wisconsin, defined by its proximity to the expansive reach of Lake Michigan. It lies 2.0 miles west of Mount Pleasant, WI (from Mount Pleasant, WI: bearing 271°T), and is situated 6.0 miles west-southwest of Racine. The landscape surrounding Sturtevant remains largely level, characterized by open fields that capture the shifting, pale light of long Midwestern afternoons. Only a mile away, the Pike River meanders through the terrain, providing a subtle, rhythmic pulse to the local environment. Residents often find respite in the green spaces of East Park, which offers a simple, accessible connection to the earth underfoot. The horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the distant, faint silhouette of Mount Tom rising fifteen miles away.
Sturtevant grew from its foundational identity as a vital junction, where the iron rails of industry once dictated the pace of daily labor. The local economy maintains this legacy through a blend of manufacturing and logistics, ensuring that the movement of goods remains a primary concern for the workforce. Over the decades, the settlement transitioned from a bustling rail stop to a modern hub of commercial activity, reflecting the broader industrial shifts of the region. This history of hard work has left a mark on the character of the people, who value the steady, predictable output of a productive day. Even as automated systems and modern facilities evolve, the spirit of the early railroad era persists in the town's pragmatic approach to growth.
Cultural life in Sturtevant moves with a deliberate, unpretentious grace, often marked by the simple rhythms of community gatherings and the changing seasons. The local atmosphere favors a grounded perspective, where neighbors recognize one another amidst the daily commute or during quiet evenings at home. While no singular monument dominates the skyline, the collective identity of the residents serves as the primary landmark of the area. Public life centers on shared spaces, where the legacy of regional traditions influences everything from social interactions to seasonal celebrations. This quiet stability remains the defining quality of Sturtevant, offering a steady, reliable existence for those who call it home.

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.
