How to Use This Waukau, Wisconsin Map

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

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 Waukau, Wisconsin

Waukau is a locality in Winnebago County, Wisconsin, United States. It is a small community with a population of 302. The population density is 83.9 people per km². Waukau is located at 43.9891°N, 88.7718°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 54980, 54964.

Waukau spreads across a landscape defined by the persistent, low-slung movement of Waukau Creek as it carves through the fertile, quiet earth. It lies 11.7 miles west-southwest of Oshkosh, WI (from Oshkosh, WI: bearing 258°T), and is situated 8.7 miles east of Berlin. The air here holds the weight of damp soil and the heavy, sweet scent of drying hay, while the horizon remains largely unobstructed, save for the distant, hazy rise of Spaulding Hill thirteen miles to the west. Residents often gather at County Park, where the flat expanse of land offers a clear view of the changing light as it shifts from a pale, morning yellow to the bruised purples of dusk. Three miles to the north, the surface of Rush Lake mirrors the vast, open sky, providing a stillness that defines the rhythm of the surrounding fields.

Waukau persists as a remnant of an era when the economy relied heavily on the output of the surrounding agrarian plains and the steady flow of local milling. The history of the place is etched into the aging foundations of structures that remain from the early days of settlement, reflecting a heritage shaped by those who broke the stubborn prairie sod. Life in Waukau moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, where the primary concerns remain the success of the harvest and the maintenance of the quiet, winding roads. During the colder months, the community retreats into the warmth of local gathering spots, maintaining a social cohesion that has survived the transition from a bustling center of regional commerce to a more secluded, introspective locale.

About This Waukau Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Waukau, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 43.989149, -88.771778. 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 Waukau includes the ZIP code (54980, 54964), telephone area code (715), county seat of Winnebago County (Oshkosh), and school district assignment (Omro 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.
