Explore Waverly, 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 Waverly, 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 Waverly.
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.

Waverly holds its ground amidst the rugged, unglaciated folds of the terrain where the earth remains undisturbed by ancient ice sheets. It lies 16.4 miles west of Dunn, WI (from Dunn, WI: bearing 259°T), and is situated 17.8 miles northeast of Red Wing. Brush Creek carves a persistent path through the limestone bedrock, its waters reflecting the pale, shifting light of a sky that seems to stretch wider here than elsewhere. Three miles to the east, the quiet surface of Nugget Lake 18 mirrors the changing season, while the distant, hazy silhouette of Maple Ridge defines the horizon against the deepening blue of an autumn dusk. The air in Waverly carries a distinct, sharp clarity, smelling of damp soil and the cold, mineral clarity of the creek bed, grounding the traveler in a landscape that values the quietude of the land above all else.
History in Waverly remains etched into the structure of its modest architecture and the long-standing agricultural traditions that define the local economy. Families who established their lives here generations ago still tend the dairy herds and fields that fan out toward the edges of Wildcat Coulee, maintaining a rhythm of labor that follows the sun. Residents often look toward the Stream Bank Protection Fee Program to ensure the preservation of the waterways that sustain their livelihood, a practical commitment to the land that mirrors their heritage. When the day ends, the social life of Waverly centers on these shared values, where the community gathers to exchange news, keeping the local culture as steady and enduring as the hardwood timber found in the distant Richard J Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest.

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.
