Explore Wilson, 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 Wilson, 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 Wilson.
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.

Wilson occupies a quiet expanse of land defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Wilson Creek, which carves a path through the low, agricultural horizon. It lies 12.4 miles east-southeast of Saint Croix, WI (from Saint Croix, WI: bearing 122°T), and is situated 9.9 miles east of Baldwin. The landscape here is characterized by vast, open fields that catch the late afternoon light, turning the dry stalks into a shimmering, pale gold that stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of The Hogback. Three miles to the north, the waters of Glen Lake 10 provide a stillness that contrasts with the constant, gentle movement of the creek, while the dense, shaded corridors of the Rem-Wilson Creek area serve as a sanctuary for local wildlife. The air in Wilson carries the distinct scent of damp earth and seasonal harvest, a crispness that suggests the long, quiet endurance of the interior plains.
Wilson reflects the heritage of those who first broke the soil, establishing an economy rooted in the steady yields of dairy and grain that still define the regional character. The local pace is measured by the changing seasons and the simple, reliable patterns of rural commerce, where the legacy of German and Polish settlers lingers in the quiet architecture and the modest, sturdy homes that line the roads. On Friday evenings, the social gravity shifts toward the traditional supper clubs, where the community gathers for a meal that has remained a constant fixture of the local identity for generations. Life in Wilson moves with a deliberate, unhurried grace, favoring the permanence of the surrounding fields and the familiar, enduring presence of the landscape over the rapid shifts of the modern world.

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.
