How to Use This Wind Point, Wisconsin Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wind Point, 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 Wind Point.
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 Wind Point, Wisconsin
Wind Point is a locality in Racine County, Wisconsin, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,651. The population density is 503.5 people per km². Wind Point is located at 42.7845°N, 87.7662°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Wind Point is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 53402.Wind Point stands as a quiet sentinel where the heavy, expansive waters of Lake Michigan meet the structured edges of the Midwestern interior. It lies 4.1 miles north-northeast of Racine, WI (from Racine, WI: bearing 12°T), and is situated 8.6 miles southeast of Oak Creek. The landscape here is defined by the deliberate transition from the persistent, rhythmic pulse of the lake to the solid, fertile earth of the surrounding plains. Within Village Green Park, the ground holds the memory of the changing seasons, offering a space where the wind carries the chill of the northern reaches across manicured grass and open vistas. The air holds a particular clarity in the transition between day and night, a thin, cool light that illuminates the flat expanse of the land and turns the distant horizon into a soft, monochromatic blur.
History in Wind Point is measured by the steady endurance of those who first settled these plains, carving a life from the soil and the proximity to the expansive lake. While the Root River winds its way through the nearby topography four miles distant, the local economy remains tethered to the industrious spirit of a region built on a foundation of diverse European heritage. The pace of life here is deliberate, marked by the quiet habits of a neighborhood that values its seclusion from the frantic motion of larger centers. Life moves with the predictability of the seasons, where the evening brings a stillness to the streets, and the sense of isolation remains, even as the modern world hums just beyond the edges of the quiet, settled fields.

About This Wind Point Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wind Point, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.784464, -87.766186. 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 Wind Point includes the ZIP code (53402), telephone area code (715), county seat of Racine County (Racine), and school district assignment (Racine 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.
