How to Use This Westby, Wisconsin Map

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

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.

Westby emerges from the high, unglaciated terrain of the Driftless region, where the landscape is defined by the steady, persistent carve of the Timber Coulee Creek. It lies 21.7 miles east-southeast of La Crosse, WI (from La Crosse, WI: bearing 117°T), and is situated 7.1 miles north-northeast of Viroqua. Beyond the immediate basin, the land rises toward the jagged silhouette of Buckskin Ridge, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch across the fields as the afternoon light thins. Only four miles away, the quiet surface of Jersey Valley Lake 8 reflects the heavy, verdant canopy of the surrounding hills, while the nearby Coon Prairie provides a flat, fertile expanse that contrasts sharply with the deep, narrow valleys that characterize this rugged topography. The air here holds a crisp, persistent chill that seems to linger even in the heat of summer, an atmospheric weight that settles over the ridges and settles into the damp, dark soil of the valley floor.

Westby carries the quiet, enduring imprint of its Scandinavian heritage, a legacy that remains visible in the sturdy architecture and the deliberate, measured pace of local commerce. The regional economy has long drawn its sustenance from the land, moving from the labor of dairy farming to a broader focus on agricultural support and specialized trade, grounding the rhythm of the day in the predictable cycles of the seasons. Residents often spend their leisure hours within the protected borders of the Coon Creek Fishery Area, where the water runs clear and cold, providing a sanctuary for those who value the solitude of the stream over the bustle of larger centers. Life in Westby is marked by an understated continuity, where the collective memory of the settlers who first broke the prairie soil informs the daily habits of those who continue to work the land and maintain the modest, well-kept storefronts that define the center of the locality.
