Explore Sullivan, 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 Sullivan, 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 Sullivan.
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.

Sullivan spreads across a landscape of ancient, heavy soil where the horizon remains wide and open to the shifting moods of the Midwestern sky. It lies 8.2 miles south-southwest of Oconomowoc, WI (from Oconomowoc, WI: bearing 213°T), and is situated 9.9 miles west-southwest of Delafield. The earth here holds the memory of glacial retreat, characterized by a series of low, elongated mounds that define the local topography. Duck Creek winds through the lowlands nearby, its waters moving with a deliberate, quiet purpose toward the larger drainage basins of the region. A short distance away, the quiet basin of Rome Pond reflects the changing light of the seasons, while the Glacial Drumlin State Trail provides a persistent, crushed-stone path that cuts directly through the heart of Sullivan, inviting those who move slowly to witness the subtle turn of the prairie grass.
Agriculture has long dictated the rhythm of life in Sullivan, as the deep, dark loam continues to support the legacy of dairy farming that anchors the local economy. The influence of early settlers from Northern Europe remains etched in the modest architecture and the communal spirit that persists in the Friday evening gatherings, where the tradition of the fish fry remains a steadfast ritual. While the Ice Age National Scenic Trail lies miles to the west, the spirit of that rugged, geological history permeates the local character, reminding residents of the slow, grinding forces that shaped this terrain. Life in Sullivan maintains a steady, unremarkable pace, defined by the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest rather than the frantic pulse of the outside world, creating a quiet consistency that favors the patient observer.

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.
